KAUST-NSF Research Conference on Electronic Materials, Devices and Systems fora Sustainable FutureAbstractElectronics has played a big role in shaping our lives around the globe in the areas of communications, healthcare, safety, energy and transportation. At present times, one of the biggest priorities should be in refocusing our scientific research on a sustainable future, finding technological fixes to environment degradation, reduction of poverty, access to clean water, healthcare and energy for all. Electronic materials and devices are finding increasing applications in systems that pertain to a sustainable and interconnected world making a difference in the world and improving people's everyday lives. It is important for scientists and engineers all across the globe to share their research, discovery and dissemination of practices and strategies in these areas and promote involvement of young bright minds. This proposal intends to achieve these goals by organizing a conference at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Thuwal, Saudi Arabia on March 14-16, 2016. The invited speakers will constitute an international body of luminaries in these fields. The outcomes envisioned are: a) Establishing a culture of sustainability-focused high-tech research; b) Attracting bright young minds from all over the world for exchange of ideas; c) Promoting science-engineering education and research through collaboration; d) Encouraging participation and contribution of women in science and engineering; e) Promoting science, technology, engineering and math among the K-12 students.This proposal requests funds to support the participation of six excellent junior faculty members, researchers, postdocs and graduating students to the KAUST-NSF Research Conference on Electronic Materials, Devices and Systems for A Sustainable Future to be held in March 2016 at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. The proposed symposium will gather world leading researchers, mid-career and rising stars, and the KAUST research community to exchange ideas and to foster a collaborative platform to pursue fundamental and applied research in the area of electronic devices, materials and systems focusing on sustainable future. The objective and goal of this conference is to highlight and to bridge the gap between the complementary growth of electronics and information technology and to explore what more can be done to use such pervasive technologies for a sustainable future. Disciplines like (i) Chemical and Biological Science and Engineering; (ii) Environmental Science and Engineering; (iii) Marine Science; (iv) Electrical and Computer Engineering; and (v) Material Science and Engineering will be covered. Sensors, smart devices, energy harvesting, storage, and cyber-physical systems will be some of the important topics that are planned to be discussed in the conference.

KAUST-NSF电子材料、器件和系统可持续未来研究会议摘要在通信、医疗保健、安全、能源和交通等领域，电子在塑造我们在全球各地的生活中发挥了重要作用。目前，最大的优先事项之一应该是将我们的科学研究的重点重新放在一个可持续的未来上，找到解决环境退化、减少贫困、为所有人提供清洁水、医疗保健和能源的技术解决方案。电子材料和设备在与可持续和相互联系的世界有关的系统中得到越来越多的应用，改变了世界，改善了人们的日常生活。重要的是，世界各地的科学家和工程师分享他们在这些领域的研究、发现和传播实践和战略，并促进年轻聪明人的参与。这项提案打算通过于2016年3月14-16日在沙特阿拉伯图瓦尔的阿卜杜拉国王科技大学(KAUST)组织一次会议来实现这些目标。被邀请的演讲者将组成这些领域的国际知名人士机构。预期的成果是：a)建立以可持续发展为重点的高技术研究文化；b)吸引来自世界各地的青年才智进行思想交流；c)通过合作促进科学工程教育和研究；d)鼓励妇女参与科学和工程工作并作出贡献；E)在K-12年级学生中促进科学、技术、工程和数学。该提案要求提供资金，以支持六名优秀的初级教职员工、研究人员、博士后和毕业生参加KAUST-NSF关于电子材料、器件和系统促进可持续未来的研究会议，该会议将于2016年3月在沙特阿拉伯图瓦尔的阿卜杜拉国王科技大学(KAUST)举行。拟议的研讨会将聚集世界领先的研究人员、职业生涯中期和后起之秀，以及科大科技大学的研究界，交流意见，并建立一个合作平台，在电子设备、材料和系统领域进行专注于可持续未来的基础和应用研究。本次会议的目的和目标是强调和弥合电子和信息技术相辅相成的增长之间的差距，并探讨还可以做些什么来利用这种普遍存在的技术来实现可持续的未来。课程内容包括：(I)化学及生物科学及工程；(Ii)环境科学及工程；(Iii)海洋科学；(Iv)电气及电脑工程；及(V)材料科学及工程。传感器、智能设备、能量收集、存储和网络物理系统将是会议计划讨论的一些重要话题。
