1703140BlocksteinThe National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) will hold the 17th National Conference and Global Forum on Science, Policy and the Environment, January 24-26, 2017 in Arlington, VA. The conference theme is Integrating Environment and Health. It will be an opportunity for STEM researchers, educators, and students in higher education, K-12, and informal education to gather with leaders from business, industry, government, and civil society working in the fields of environment and health to develop a common vision, share best practices, and develop new partnerships in order to advance the convergence of environmental and health sciences and engineering.The health of people and the health of the planet are intrinsically, intricately, and intimately interconnected, but separate disciplines and professions have developed each with their own programs and terminology that even use similar terms such as environmental health or environmental health sciences differently. The 2017 conference seeks to advance convergence towards an approach to prepare scientists, educators, and practitioners to explore and understand the connections and apply them in their professional activities. The conference will be: 1. A forum for scholars, educators, students, professionals and policymakers to share new science, best practices, and develop new partnerships. 2. An opportunity for academics to gather with leaders from business, industry, government, and civil society to raise the profile and expand the effectiveness of scholarship that connects health and environment. 3. An arena to help scientists and policymakers consider how research can inform and be translated into policy and practices. 4. A platform designed to catalyze new initiatives and partnerships. One of the conference's primary purposes is to help build a convergent interdisciplinary field of environment and health. Desired outcomes include: 1. Helping to build communities of practice in environment and health utilizing collaborative approaches to identify critical scientific and technological needs, learning outcomes, and effective practices in key areas. 2. An avenue for enhanced STEM literacy for students in all disciplines based on critical thinking about health and its relationships with various environmental issues (climate change, pollution, international security, environmental capital and the value (cost) of nature as it relates to health impacts, and other challenges of modern society). 3. New pathways for teaching about environment and health. 4. Stronger research programs that more effectively take innovations in science and technology to the demonstration and deployment stages. The project will help advance a broadly-defined, interdisciplinary field of environment and health that includes elements of science, technology, policy, ethics, environmental, health and biomedical sciences. A broader integration of environment and health science will serve society helping to elucidate the health benefits of environmental protection, extend the relevance and practicality of STEM education, and forge critical connections with research on health and the environment. The impacts of the project will be evaluated through electronic surveys during and at the conclusion of the conference and a follow-up survey six months after the conference as well as a post-conference discussion with the conference planning committee.

1703140 Blockstein国家科学与环境理事会（NCSE）将于2017年1月24日至26日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行第17届全国科学、政策与环境会议暨全球论坛。会议的主题是环境与健康的结合。这将是STEM研究人员，教育工作者和高等教育，K-12和非正式教育的学生与环境和健康领域的商业，工业，政府和民间社会领导人聚集在一起的机会，以制定共同愿景，分享最佳实践，并发展新的伙伴关系，以促进环境和健康科学与工程的融合。地球是内在的，错综复杂的，密切相关的，但不同的学科和专业都有自己的计划和术语，甚至使用类似的术语，如环境健康或环境健康科学不同。2017年的会议旨在推进趋同，以帮助科学家、教育工作者和从业者探索和理解这些联系，并将其应用于他们的专业活动。会议将：1。一个供学者、教育工作者、学生、专业人士和政策制定者分享新科学、最佳实践和发展新伙伴关系的论坛。2.学者有机会与来自商业，工业，政府和民间社会的领导人聚集在一起，以提高知名度并扩大连接健康和环境的奖学金的有效性。3.一个竞技场，帮助科学家和政策制定者考虑研究如何为政策和实践提供信息并转化为政策和实践。4.一个旨在促进新倡议和伙伴关系的平台。会议的主要目的之一是帮助建立一个融合的跨学科环境和健康领域。期望的结果包括：1。帮助建立环境和健康实践社区，利用协作方法确定关键领域的关键科学和技术需求、学习成果和有效做法。2.一个途径，以提高学生在所有学科的基础上对健康及其与各种环境问题的关系（气候变化，污染，国际安全，环境资本和自然的价值（成本），因为它涉及到健康的影响，以及现代社会的其他挑战）的批判性思维STEM素养。3.环境与健康教学的新途径。4.更强有力的研究计划，更有效地将科学和技术创新带到演示和部署阶段。该项目将有助于推动一个定义广泛的跨学科环境和健康领域，其中包括科学、技术、政策、伦理、环境、健康和生物医学等要素。环境和健康科学的更广泛整合将有助于阐明环境保护的健康益处，扩大STEM教育的相关性和实用性，并与健康和环境研究建立关键联系。将通过会议期间和会议结束时的电子调查、会议后六个月的后续调查以及会后与会议规划委员会的讨论来评价项目的影响。
