1541866 (Assaf- Anid). The workshop "Food, Energy, and Water (FEW) Nexus in Sustainable Cities," to be held in Beijing on October 20 and 21, 2015, will convene participants from both the United States and China. Both nations are principal actors in global sustainability. The FEW workshop will provide participants from both nations opportunities to explore scientific challenges of mutual interest in sustainability and stressors on the built environment in relation to the FEW nexus. The workshop's programming team is led by New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) in collaboration with Peking University (PKU). Several academic, government, and private entities will be actively engaged in planning the workshop, including from the United States: NYIT (Dr. Nada Assaf-Anid), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and its Institute for Sustainability (AIChE-IfS, Dr. Darlene Schuster), and from China: Peking University (Dr. Chunmiao Zheng) and Wuhan University (Dr. Xiaohui Cui), along with representatives from the various agencies in the U.S. and China. The overarching goal of the workshop is to stimulate basic research on the interdependence of systems involving agriculture, water, and energy, as well as to identify barriers to sustainability in food production, transport, distribution, use, and access in urban environments. The workshop will cover several research areas, including sustainability and life-cycle assessment challenges in addressing complex systems-based indicators and responses to stressors and coupling those responses to the FEW system, as well as technology breakthroughs and approaches for more efficient FEW resource utilization and reuse in cities. The workshop will enhance scientific cooperation between U.S. and Chinese scholars, educators, industry practitioners, government agency representatives, urban planners and policymakers. The workshop is to result in a white paper on scientific, engineering and information systems and data challenges in understanding FEW systems.This workshop is co-funded by the CBET/ENG Environmental Sustainability program and the Global Venture Fund (GVF) of the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE).

1541866（阿萨夫-安德）。2015年10月20日至21日在北京举行的“可持续城市中的粮食、能源和水（FEW）关系”研讨会将召集来自美国和中国的与会者。 两国都是全球可持续发展的主要参与者。FEW研讨会将为来自两国的参与者提供机会，探讨在可持续性方面共同感兴趣的科学挑战以及与FEW关系有关的建筑环境压力因素。该研讨会的编程团队由纽约理工学院（NYIT）与北京大学（PKU）合作领导。一些学术界、政府和私营实体将积极参与研讨会的规划，包括来自美国的：（Nada Assaf-Anid博士）、美国化学工程师协会及其可持续发展研究所（AIChE-IfS，Darlene Schuster博士），来自中国：北京大学（郑春苗博士）和武汉大学（崔晓辉博士），以及来自美国和中国各机构的代表沿着。研讨会的总体目标是促进对涉及农业、水和能源的系统的相互依存性进行基础研究，并确定城市环境中粮食生产、运输、分配、使用和获取方面的可持续性障碍。研讨会将涵盖几个研究领域，包括在解决复杂的基于系统的指标和应对压力源方面的可持续性和生命周期评估挑战，并将这些应对措施与FEW系统相结合，以及在城市中更有效地利用和再利用FEW资源的技术突破和方法。该研讨会将加强中美学者、教育工作者、行业从业者、政府机构代表、城市规划者和政策制定者之间的科学合作。该研讨会将产生一份关于科学、工程和信息系统以及理解FEW系统的数据挑战的白色文件。该研讨会由CBET/ENG环境可持续性计划和国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）的全球风险基金（GVF）共同资助。
