The 5th International Congress on Sustainability Science and Engineering

1642400黄银伦第五届ICOSSE（国际可持续发展科学与工程大会）的目的是交流关于保护环境和资源以及确保工业可持续发展的方法和手段的新思想。大会将为来自世界各地，特别是来自美国和亚洲国家的各种物理和生态科学，工程领域，经济学和社会科学的研究人员和从业者提供一个共同的平台。ICOSSE将围绕以下可持续发展的关键主题组织：（1）加工业的可持续技术，（2）可持续制造，（3）纳米技术可持续性，（4）可持续能源，（5）环境可持续性工业生态学，以及（6）可持续教育。&预计发言将侧重于利用科学和工程创新从系统角度追求工业可持续性。这次会议应有助于弥合研究与发展之间的差距，加强学术界与工业界之间的联系，并探讨广泛的国际合作机会，特别是与亚洲国家的合作机会。会议将于2016年10月24 - 27日在中国苏州举行。本次ICOSSE将为美国学术界人士提供一个绝佳的机会，与世界级的领导者和其他同行，特别是亚洲和邻近地区的同行交流研究和教育经验，并寻找加强可持续工程研究和教育的国际合作机会。青年教师，年轻的研究人员，研究生和本科生，特别是那些在科学和工程中代表性不足的少数民族，将被强烈鼓励参加会议。学生海报论文比赛将为他们提供一个极好的机会，介绍他们的研究活动，并听取来自不同国家的领先专家的建议。将根据会议情况编写出版物。

1642400 Huang, YinlunThe purpose of the 5th ICOSSE (International Congress on Sustainability Science and Engineering) is to exchange emerging ideas about ways and means of protecting the environment and its resources and ensuring sustainable industrial development. The congress will provide a common platform for researchers and practitioners of various physical and ecological sciences, engineering fields, economics, and social sciences from around the world, especially from the U.S. and Asian countries. The ICOSSE will be organized on the following key themes in sustainability: (1) sustainable technologies in processing industries, (2) sustainable manufacturing, (3) nanotechnology sustainability, (4) energy for sustainability, (5) environmental sustainability & industrial ecology, and (6) sustainability education. Presentations are expected to focus on pursuing industrial sustainability from the systems perspective using scientific and engineering innovations. The conference should help bridge the gap between research and development, strengthen the linkage between academia and industries, and explore opportunities for broad international collaboration, especially with those in Asia. The conference will be held in Soochow, China, October 24-27, 2016. This grant is to assist in the travel support for U.S. faculty and their students to participate.This ICOSSE will provide an excellent opportunity for U.S. academic attendees to exchange research and educational experiences with world-class leaders and other colleagues, especially those in Asia and near regions, and to identify international collaboration opportunities in strengthening sustainable engineering research and education. Junior faculty members, young researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, especially those minorities underrepresented in science and engineering, will be strongly encouraged to attend the conference. A student poster paper competition will provide an excellent opportunity for them to present their research activities and receive advice from leading experts from different countries. A publication based on the conference will be generated.
