NSF ECO-CBET program information session
An information session on the National Science Foundation 1xbet best casino website Convergence Opportunities in Chemical, Bioengineering, 1xbet best casino website , and Transport Systems, or ECO-CBET, program will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 18, in 1139 Engineering Hall, the Carl and Mary Ice Conference Room. The session is open to all university faculty and staff.
Discussion will follow the presentation and for those interested, assistance with forming collaborative teams. This program requires teams to be constructed in such a manner that expertise is complementary and distinct. Nontraditional collaborations between 1xbet best casino website communities is highly encouraged.
The ECO-CBET solicitation seeks to engage the research communities represented among the programmatic clusters of CBET — Chemical Process Systems, Engineering Biology and Health, Transport Phenomena, and 1xbet best casino website Engineering and Sustainability — in the development of innovative, fundamentally driven approaches to tackle pressing 1xbet best casino website challenges. Projects are expected to advance and apply fundamental processes, mechanisms and theories to yield systems-level understanding and tools. Highly collaborative projects that pair 1xbet best casino website engineering and sustainability experts with complementary researchers from other process science disciplines, e.g., heat and mass transfer, catalysis, biotechnology, process design and control, etc., are sought. Experts in manufacturing and/or social sciences may also provide unique perspectives that serve to expand the technological and societal impact of the research.
The goals of the ECO-CBET program include:
- Encouraging new ways of thinking about 1xbet best casino website problems through atypical scientific collaborations and leveraging this diversity of perspectives to create innovative, holistic solutions.
- Integrating fundamental chemical process, transport and bioengineering science with 1xbet best casino website engineering and sustainability research toward reducing and mitigating pollution and waste.
- Training a future workforce prepared to develop and apply fundamental knowledge and approaches to solve 1xbet best casino website and sustainability problems.
Preliminary proposals are due to NSF Feb. 20, 2020, with a full proposal deadline on April 30.
