What is the length of time for them to show impact? What are the societal benefits of research in the chemical sciences? What are the intangible benefits, for example, in health and quality of life? What problems exist in the chemical sci- ences? Has there been a real or sustained decline in research invest- ment in either the public or private sector? Has there been a shift in off-shore investment? Break Reports from breakout sessions (and discussion) Reception BANQUET—DINNER SPEAKER: JACK SOLOMON, Praxair, Inc.

What returns can be expected on investment in the chemical sciences? How does the investment correlate with scientific and eco- nomic progress? What feedback exists between chemical industry and university research in the chemical sciences? What are the effects of university research on industrial competitiveness, maintaining a tech- nical work force, and developing new industrial growth (e.g., in poly- mers, materials, or biotechnology)? Are there examples of lost op- portunities in the chemical sciences that can be attributed to failure to invest in research? 10:45 BREAK 11:00 Reports from breakout sessions (and discussion)

This book, also based on a workshop, assesses the current state of chemistry and chemical engineering at the interface with novel and existing forms of energy and transportation systems. The book also identifies challenges for the chemical sciences in helping to meet the increased demand for more energy, and opportunities for research in energy technologies and in the development of transportation vehicles.
