The workshop was held to provide a forum for discussing the implications of an increasingly global research environment for a chemistry and chemical engineering workforce. Discussions explored how the chemical enterprise--academic, industrial, and government--is influenced by international activities and how it might respond to prepare chemists and chemical engineers for the changing environment. The workshop presentations described deficiencies in the current system and identified successful approaches that could be adapted to create and sustain a globally aware workforce Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Title from PDF title page (viewed May 17, 2012) This study was supported by Research Corporation under Grant GG0066, the U.S. Department of Energy under Grant DE-FG-02-95ER14556, the National Institutes of Health under Grant N01-OD-4-2139, Task Order 25, and the National Science Foundation under Grant CHE-0328197 English Subject Chemists -- Vocational guidance Chemical engineers -- Vocational guidance Chemistry.
