NON TECHNICALA one-day Focus-on-Sustainability program of activities created by the Materials Research Society (MRS) and supported by the Division of Materials Research for the 2014 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit in Boston, MA, is designed to raise the awareness of the nexus between materials, materials research, and sustainable practice. The program will create opportunities for a diverse group of stakeholders to interact in a variety of ways to build a community of practice-galvanizing action towards, and bolstering participation in, research and education focusing on sustainability and the key role that materials play. The planned events include a session of invited talks by corporate social responsibility officers to be embedded in an existing Materials as Tools for Sustainability symposium, a poster competition for the MRS University Chapters (Sustainability@MySchool), a keynote presentation by a materials/sustainability-innovator in the Technology Innovation Forum, a preview of the new STEM course "Impact of Materials on Society," a Corporate Sustainability Roundtable, a preview of Strange Matter Green Earth museum exhibition under development by the MRS, a dynamic floor session on interacting with the public, and networking events to start and end the program.TECHNICALThe Materials Research Society (MRS) Focus-on-Sustainability events, supported by the Division of Materials Research, will kick off the 2014 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit on Sunday, November 30th and run through Monday, December 1. A central strategy for the program is the participation of corporate social responsibility leaders. It is important to connect this corporate group with the materials research community, in order to foster new synergies that drive research supporting sustainable materials usage, considerations of materials life-cycles, materials reuse and repurposing, green processing, and energy conservation and generation. Successful corporations practice systems-level thinking, and materials researchers can benefit from incorporating this point-of-view in the development of their research portfolios, especially as it pertains to sustainability. The planned events include a session of invited talks by corporate social responsibility officers to be embedded in an existing Materials as Tools for Sustainability symposium, a poster competition for the MRS University Chapters (Sustainability@My School), a keynote presentation by a materials/sustainability-innovator in the Technology Innovation Forum, a preview of the new STEM course "Impact of Materials on Society," a Corporate Sustainability Roundtable, a preview of Strange Matter Green Earth museum exhibition under development by the MRS, a dynamic floor session on interacting with the public, and networking events to start and end the program.

Non TECHNICALA为期一天的可持续发展活动计划由材料研究学会(MRS)创建，材料研究部为2014年在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的MRS秋季会议和展览会提供支持，旨在提高人们对材料、材料研究和可持续实践之间关系的认识。该计划将为不同的利益相关者群体创造机会，以各种方式互动，建立实践社区-激励行动，并加强对专注于可持续发展和材料发挥关键作用的研究和教育的参与。计划的活动包括一场企业社会责任官员的特邀演讲，将嵌入现有的材料作为可持续发展的工具研讨会，MRS大学分会(可持续性@MySchool)的海报竞赛，材料/可持续发展创新者在技术创新论坛上的主旨演讲，STEM新课程“材料对社会的影响”的预览，企业可持续发展圆桌会议，MRS正在开发的奇异物质绿色地球博物馆展览预览，与公众互动的动态地板会议，以及开始和结束该计划的网络活动。TECHNICAL材料研究学会(MRS)专注于可持续发展活动，在材料研究部的支持下，将拉开2014年秋季会议的序幕。展览将于11月30日星期日进行，并将持续到12月1日星期一。该计划的一个核心战略是企业社会责任领袖的参与。重要的是将该企业集团与材料研究界联系起来，以促进新的协同效应，以推动支持可持续材料使用、考虑材料生命周期、材料再利用和再利用、绿色加工以及节能和发电的研究。成功的公司实践系统层面的思维，材料研究人员可以从将这一观点纳入他们的研究组合的发展中受益，特别是当它与可持续性有关时。计划中的活动包括一场企业社会责任官员的特邀讲座，将嵌入现有的材料作为可持续发展的工具研讨会，MRS大学分会(可持续发展@我的学校)的海报竞赛，材料/可持续发展创新者在技术创新论坛上的主题演讲，STEM新课程“材料对社会的影响”的预览，企业可持续发展圆桌会议，MRS正在开发的奇异物质绿色地球博物馆展览预览，与公众互动的动态现场会议，以及开始和结束该计划的网络活动。
