ABSTRACT TITLEPromoting Student Education and Outreach at the 18th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering ConferenceABSTRACTThis award supports student travel, registration, poster session, and workshop for the 18th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering (GC&E) Conference sponsored by the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute? (ACS GCI) and its organizing committee made up of scientists from other non-profit organizations, U.S. government agencies, academic institutions, and industry. The theme of the conference is Advancing Chemistry, Innovating for Sustainability. The conference will be held June 17-19, 2014, in Bethesda, MD. The PI for the award is Jennifer J. MacKellar of the ACS GCI. Green chemistry and engineering are areas of study that are essential to providing sustainable solutions to global problems. Green chemistry looks for ways to make new or existing chemicals without using or producing harmful materials; green engineering looks for ways to manufacture new or existing materials less expensively and with less harm to the environment and public health. This conference attracts important researchers and business leaders in green chemistry and engineering and, thus, is an excellent opportunity for attracting the most talented students to plan a career in this area. Additionally, students participating in this conference are exposed to topics not commonly encountered in traditional university courses and conferences. This conference emphasizes, through the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate negative impacts on human health and the environment, green chemistry and green engineering approaches to achieve the twin goals of economic prosperity and sustainability. Green chemistry and green engineering are important tools in preventing pollution at the source and providing solutions to global sustainability challenges. Educating the innovators of tomorrow is a crucial part in securing the well-being of the future. This highly successful interdisciplinary conference and workshop provides a proven opportunity for students to receive and apply information that will propel them into research for and development of innovative and sustainable solutions. Workshop participants will learn about the latest developments in green chemistry and engineering while being challenged to consider the broader economic, social and political context in which these developments occur. Through the student workshop, students will learn how to conduct outreach activities and advocate for green chemistry and engineering within their local community. The 2014 GC&E Conference will provide participants the opportunity to explore international green chemistry educational collaborations as part of revitalizing efforts of the GCI International Student Chapters.

摘要标题在第 18 届年度绿色化学与工程会议上促进学生教育和推广摘要该奖项支持由美国化学会绿色化学研究所主办的第 18 届年度绿色化学与工程 (GC&E) 会议的学生旅行、注册、海报会议和研讨会？ (ACS GCI) 及其组委会由来自其他非营利组织、美国政府机构、学术机构和行业的科学家组成。会议的主题是“推进化学，创新可持续发展”。会议将于 2014 年 6 月 17 日至 19 日在马里兰州贝塞斯达举行。该奖项的 PI 是 ACS GCI 的 Jennifer J. MacKellar。绿色化学和工程是为全球问题提供可持续解决方案至关重要的研究领域。绿色化学寻找在不使用或产生有害物质的情况下制造新的或现有化学品的方法；绿色工程寻找方法来制造新的或现有的材料，成本更低，对环境和公共健康的危害更小。这次会议吸引了绿色化学和工程领域的重要研究人员和商业领袖，因此，是吸引最有才华的学生在该领域规划职业生涯的绝佳机会。此外，参加本次会议的学生还可以接触到传统大学课程和会议中不常见的主题。本次会议强调，通过设计减少或消除对人类健康和环境负面影响的化学产品和工艺，采用绿色化学和绿色工程方法来实现经济繁荣和可持续发展的双重目标。绿色化学和绿色工程是从源头预防污染并为全球可持续发展挑战提供解决方案的重要工具。教育明天的创新者是确保未来福祉的关键部分。这次非常成功的跨学科会议和研讨会为学生提供了一个经过验证的机会来接收和应用信息，推动他们研究和开发创新和可持续的解决方案。研讨会参与者将了解绿色化学和工程的最新发展，同时面临考虑这些发展发生的更广泛的经济、社会和政治背景的挑战。通过学生研讨会，学生将学习如何在当地社区开展外展活动并倡导绿色化学和工程。 2014 年 GC&E 会议将为与会者提供探索国际绿色化学教育合作的机会，作为振兴 GCI 国际学生分会努力的一部分。
