The 2008 CENTC Summer School on Organometallic Catalysis was July 20-25, 2008 at the University of Washington. What is CENTC?The Center for Enabling New Technologies Through Catalysis (CENTC) is a team of chemists and chemical engineers from 16 research laboratories on 12 different North American campuses. CENTC provides enhanced training, discovery and innovation in the chemical sciences by bringing people together across institutional and geographical boundaries. Research in the center is focused on the development of new chemical processes that will have significant societal impact, such as new ways to produce clean fuel or to convert biomass to useful chemicals.
CENTC uses
cyber-technology to facilitate communication and collaboration to
advance chemical discovery. The collaborative nature of CENTC also
provides students the opportunity to build relationships with several
mentors. Each research
project involves multiple collaborators from two or more research groups
at different institutions, including faculty, undergraduate and graduate
students, and post-docs.
CENTC is strongly
committed to broadening participation at all levels both in its own
research program and in the chemical sciences.
Attendees at the 2008 CENTC Annual Meeting (17 faculty collaborators, 4 Advisory Board members, 11 post-docs, 22 graduate students, 7 Industrial Affiliates representatives, 1 undergraduate student, 4 staff members and Kathy Covert, our NSF Program Officer). |
