18003 International Benchmarking of Chemical Engineering Research
OverviewHow well does chemical engineering research in USA compare with that in other countries? What are the implications for future competitiveness? The National Research Council of the National Academies charged a high level panel of academic and industrial leaders to benchmark this issue. In this special session, members of that panel, lead by its chair, Prof. George Stephanopoulos, will present data and conclusions from that study. Representatives from NSF, NIH and DOE will comment on the implications and potential responses with regard to future research. There will be opportunity for questions and comments from the audience.
