Organizations, government agencies, cooperation, research and education communities have increasing interest in sustainability engineering and science. Although much has been discussed about the concept of sustainability, there have been few opportunities to bring business, industry, engineers, scientists and government together to discuss the way forward to achieve sustainability. The 2nd International Conference on Sustainability Engineering and Science will be an excellent avenue to present some of the most recent achievements in sustainability and debate its application to the real world. This conference will be held at the Faculty of Engineering, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand, February 20-23, 2007.This project seeks further cooperation and facilitates sharing of knowledge, and experiences between US and other countries by supporting travel funds for US delegates to attend this conference. The intellectual merit of this proposal will arise from the overall outcome of the conference: the showcase and exploration of new products and processes, new systems, and new thinking in the field of sustainability engineering and science. The broader impacts include forging international partnerships, and promoting international collaboration between US researchers/educators and those in the Australia/Oceania Continent.

组织、政府机构、合作、研究和教育界对可持续性工程和科学的兴趣越来越大。尽管人们对可持续性的概念进行了大量讨论，但很少有机会将企业、工业、工程师、科学家和政府聚集在一起，讨论实现可持续性的前进道路。第二届可持续发展工程与科学国际会议将是一个很好的途径，展示可持续发展的一些最新成就，并讨论其在真实的世界中的应用。本次会议将于2007年2月20日至23日在新西兰奥克兰的奥克兰大学工程学院举行。该项目旨在通过支持美国代表参加本次会议的旅费，进一步促进美国与其他国家之间的合作，并促进知识和经验的分享。该提案的智力价值将来自会议的总体成果：展示和探索可持续工程和科学领域的新产品和工艺，新系统和新思维。更广泛的影响包括建立国际伙伴关系，促进美国研究人员/教育工作者与澳大利亚/大洋洲大陆研究人员/教育工作者之间的国际合作。
