NECZA His­to­ry and Meet­ing Phi­los­o­phy — NECZA is an out­growth of dis­cus­sions held after ses­sions at the 1997 Zeo­lite and Lay­ered Mate­ri­als Gor­don Con­fer­ence, Chaired by Charles Kres­ge. NECZA seeks to max­i­mize dis­cus­sion and inter­ac­tions between the sci­en­tists who are attend­ing the meet­ing. As such, the tech­ni­cal pro­gram tends to be a bit flex­i­ble with con­tri­bu­tions from a vari­ety of back­grounds.

Tra­di­tion­al­ly, speak­ers are encour­aged to pre­pare “provoca­tive” talks and to rig­or­ous­ly keep the time for their talk which includes 10 to 15 min­utes dis­cus­sion time. The audi­ence is STRONGLY encour­aged to “par­tic­i­pate” (even, for exam­ple, by bring­ing 1 — 2 over­heads relat­ed to the talks to open up dis­cus­sion).

The poster ses­sion and grad­u­ate stu­dent talks have been a sta­ple of NECZA meet­ings. This is a won­der­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty for stu­dents to ‘get their feet wet’ in a rel­a­tive­ly friend­ly set­ting.

We very much look for­ward to anoth­er fruit­ful and engag­ing NECZA meet­ing, made pos­si­ble by your par­tic­i­pa­tion. The NECZA meet­ing serves as a nice cap to the year’s activ­i­ties and we look for­ward to catch­ing up with you all and hear­ing about your nice work at this Decem­ber tra­di­tion.

Please for­ward this note on to your col­leagues, or any oth­ers you feel might have inter­est, and don’t hes­i­tate to con­tact us if you have ques­tions.

For reg­is­tra­tion and addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion, please con­tact Joseph Fedeyko (fedeyjm@​jmusa.​com) or vis­it our web­site at www​.necza​.org

The North­east Cor­ri­dor Zeo­lite Asso­ci­a­tion Meet­ing will take place in David Lynch Con­fer­ence Room, Chem­istry Build­ing, the Uni­ver­si­ty of Penn­syl­va­nia on Decem­ber 14, 2012. Meet­ing reg­is­tra­tion and poster set­up will start at 8:30 am.

Dear NECZA mem­bers and friends,

The hol­i­day sea­son is around the cor­ner, and so is our annu­al NECZA meet­ing. It is my hon­or to orga­nize the 2008 pro­gram along with Travis Hol­man, David Olson, Ned Cor­co­ran, Long Pan, and Chris Cahill. As before, David Olson has reserved the same meet­ing room, Lynch hall, at the Chem­istry Depart­ment of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Penn­syl­va­nia for Fri­day, Decem­ber 12, 2008. Thus, we can still meet fol­low­ing the tra­di­tions devel­oped dur­ing the past years, thanks to David. We look for­ward to excit­ing talks and posters with vig­or­ous dis­cus­sions.

We are invit­ing talks and posters on all facets of zeo­lite sci­ence. Any­one is enti­tled to present a lec­ture or poster. We reserve the right to lim­it the num­ber of pre­sen­ta­tions or to shift lec­tures and posters, to opti­mize bal­ance among var­i­ous sub­jects in our field. If you wish to present a paper or a poster, please send an Abstract to haiming.​liu@​arkema.​com no lat­er than Novem­ber 21, 2008. Please spec­i­fy your pref­er­ence (presentation/poster) in the sub­mis­sion and the name of the pre­sen­ter. When sub­mit­ting the Abstract, please include files using both MicroSoft Word (doc) and Adobe Acro­bat (PDF) for­mats.

Down­load gen­er­al infor­ma­tion and first call for papers for the 2008 NECZA meet­ing: .

Thanks. We are look­ing for­ward to your con­tri­bu­tion and a great meet­ing!

Dear Zeo­lite and Porous Mate­r­i­al Enthu­si­asts,

A reminder that the North­East Cor­ri­dor Zeo­lite Asso­ci­a­tion will have its annu­al meet­ing on Fri­day, Decem­ber 7 at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Penn­syl­va­nia. Reg­is­tra­tion is now open and you may sub­mit an abstract by Novem­ber 23^rd. We have a num­ber of con­firmed speak­ers (as part of our spe­cial recog­ni­tion of David Olson -see below), yet will chose addi­tion­al oral pre­sen­ta­tions from the sub­mit­ted abstracts. Of course, always room for posters.

2007 is the 10^th anniver­sary of NECZA. For the past decade, our friend and col­league David Olson has been serv­ing as the local host for NECZA. He turned 70 ear­ly this year. We are ded­i­cat­ing the morn­ing ses­sion to David, cel­e­brat­ing his con­tri­bu­tions to mol­e­c­u­lar sieve sci­ence and tech­nol­o­gy, and his long ser­vice to the zeo­lite com­mu­ni­ty. A few of David’s col­leagues from over the years have already agreed to speak. David is hon­ored. Oth­er par­ties inter­est­ed in giv­ing a talk or say­ing a few words about David at the ses­sion may con­tact the orga­niz­ers.

Details regard­ing reg­is­tra­tion, abstract sub­mis­sion and any­thing else we can think of are at www​.necza​.org.

Thanks and we look for­ward to see­ing you in Decem­ber!
