1202232ChangThe world faces significant grand challenges in the areas of energy, human health, and environmental sustainability. Plasma science and technology, due to its intrinsic nonequilibrium nature, is expected to be at the heart of many key enabling technologies that are needed to provide breakthrough solutions for these grand challenges. The 2012 Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science will feature a comprehensive program that will highlight cutting edge scientific advances in plasma science and technology as well as explore the applications of this nonequilibrium medium in possible approaches relative to many grand societal challenges. Fundamental science sessions will focus on plasma kinetics and chemistry, plasma surface interactions, and recent trends in plasma generation and multi-phase plasmas. Application sessions will explore the impact of plasma technology in renewable energy, the production of fuels from renewable feedstocks and carbon neutral solar fuels, and plasma-enabled medicine and sterilization. The intellectual merit is to advance the knowledge and understanding in basic plasma science by bringing together leaders in the field in an informal atmosphere with junior investigators and graduate students. The special format of the Gordon Conferences, with programmed discussion sessions and ample time for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, will provide for a fertile atmosphere of brainstorming and creative thinking among the attendees. These planned activities focus on exploring creative original concepts as well as transformative concepts in plasma processing science. The broader impact of the conference is best demonstrated by the planned weekend-long Gordon Kenan Research Seminar, which will take place associated with 2012 Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRC-PPS). This seminar features attendance limited to graduate students and post-doctoral associates, allowing for scientific interaction in a non-threatening environment. It is designed to foster exchanges of advance discovery and understanding while promoting mentorship, peer review and learning amongst young researchers in this field. The seminar has been and will continue to help broaden the participation of underrepresented groups (e.g. gender, ethnicity, disability, geographic etc.). The benefits to the society includes the education of the future generation of the scientists in plasma processing science and the advancement in technologically important areas utilizing plasma processing science.

世界在能源、人类健康和环境可持续性方面面临着重大挑战。等离子体科学和技术，由于其固有的非平衡性质，预计将成为许多关键技术的核心，这些技术需要为这些重大挑战提供突破性的解决方案。2012年戈登等离子体加工科学研究会议将以一个全面的计划为特色，该计划将突出等离子体科学和技术的前沿科学进展，并探索这种非平衡介质在相对于许多重大社会挑战的可能方法中的应用。基础科学会议将侧重于等离子体动力学和化学，等离子体表面相互作用，以及等离子体生成和多相等离子体的最新趋势。应用会议将探讨等离子体技术在可再生能源，可再生原料和碳中性太阳能燃料的生产，以及等离子体医学和灭菌中的影响。学术价值是通过将该领域的领导者与初级研究人员和研究生在非正式的气氛中聚集在一起，促进基础等离子体科学的知识和理解。戈登会议的特殊形式，有计划的讨论会议和下午和晚上的非正式聚会的充足时间，将为与会者提供一个集思广益和创造性思维的肥沃气氛。这些计划中的活动侧重于探索等离子体加工科学中的创造性原创概念以及变革性概念。会议的更广泛的影响是最好的计划周末戈登凯南研究研讨会，这将与2012年戈登等离子体加工科学研究会议（GRC-PPS）相关联的地方证明。本次研讨会的特点出席仅限于研究生和博士后助理，允许在一个无威胁的环境中进行科学互动。它的目的是促进先进的发现和理解的交流，同时促进导师，同行评议和学习之间的年轻研究人员在这一领域。研讨会一直并将继续帮助扩大代表性不足的群体（例如，性别、种族、残疾、地域等）的参与。对社会的好处包括等离子体加工科学的下一代科学家的教育和利用等离子体加工科学的重要技术领域的进步。
