Depletion of nonrenewable resources, air, water, and soil pollution, global warming, depletion of stratospheric ozone and forests, scarcity of water for drinking and agriculture, and excessive population growth are among the major challenges to the global society. The United Nations indicated in the Brundtland Report1 that the ?current patterns of resource consumption and environmental degradation could not continue as they were and in order to reduce the problem facing us, society must act as a whole.? Today, environmental sustainability, energy sustainability, manufacturing sustainability, process and product sustainability, water sustainability, business sustainability, etc., are studied and practiced extensively. How to ensure engineering sustainability becomes a focal point for long-term development. The chemical and allied industries have been working collaboratively towards solutions to the pressing issues that we need to address today and in the future. This has greatly stimulated the academic institutions to develop sustainable-engineering-focused innovative and aggressive research and educational programs. A forum for the researchers and practitioners in this area to share their research and educational experience will be highly desirable. Therefore, the 3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Chemical Product and Process Engineering on Sustainable Chemical Engineering is proposed that is planned to be held in Dalian, China, June 2-5, 2013.Intellectual Merit: The 3rd symposium will have the following main objectives: (i) to share knowledge and research experience in studying economic, environmental and social sustainability, (ii) to assess the state-of-the-art green chemical product and process engineering, (iii) to bridge the gap between research and development, strengthening the linkage between academia and industries, (iv) to discuss research directions for the chemical and allied industries to move towards sustainability and educational approaches for the integration of industrial sustainability into the chemical engineering curriculum, and (v) to explore opportunities for international collaboration in the proposed technical areas.Broader Impacts: The project will facilitate US researchers/educators to exchange knowledge with leading researchers and educators in over 10 countries, and help the US delegates identify international collaboration opportunities in the research and education of sustainable chemical engineering. Junior faculty and researchers as well as graduate/undergraduate students, especially those in the underrepresented ethnic groups, will be encouraged to participate in the symposium. This symposium will also include two mini-workshops for catalyzing international collaborations on sustainable chemical engineering research and education

不可再生资源的枯竭，空气、水和土壤的污染，全球变暖，平流层臭氧和森林的枯竭，饮用水和农业用水的稀缺，以及人口的过度增长，这些都是全球社会面临的主要挑战。联合国在布伦特兰报告1中指出，目前的资源消耗和环境退化模式不能继续下去，为了减少我们面临的问题，整个社会必须采取行动。今天，环境可持续性、能源可持续性、制造可持续性、工艺和产品可持续性、水可持续性、商业可持续性等得到了广泛的研究和实践。如何确保工程的可持续性成为长期发展的重点。化学工业和相关行业一直在通力合作，寻求解决我们现在和未来需要解决的紧迫问题的办法。这极大地刺激了学术机构开发以可持续工程为重点、创新和积极的研究和教育计划。为这一领域的研究人员和实践者提供一个论坛，以分享他们的研究和教育经验将是非常可取的。为此，拟于2013年6月2-5日在大连中国召开第三届可持续化工产品与过程工程国际研讨会。学术价值：第三届研讨会的主要目标是：(1)分享经济、环境和社会可持续研究方面的知识和研究经验；(2)评估最新的绿色化工产品与过程工程；(3)弥合研究与开发之间的差距，加强学术界与产业界的联系，(Iv)讨论化学及相关行业迈向可持续发展的研究方向，以及将工业可持续发展融入化学工程课程的教育方法，以及(V)探讨拟议技术领域的国际合作机会。广泛影响：该项目将促进美国研究人员/教育工作者与10多个国家的领先研究人员和教育工作者交流知识，并帮助美国代表在可持续化学工程的研究和教育方面寻找国际合作机会。将鼓励初级教员和研究人员以及研究生/本科生，特别是那些代表人数较少的族裔群体的学生参加研讨会。研讨会还将包括两个小型研讨会，以促进可持续化学工程研究和教育方面的国际合作。
