KAUST-NSF Research Conference on Interactive Electronics; King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Thuwal, Saudi Arabia

继2014、2015和2016年KAUST-NSF电子材料、器件和系统可持续未来研究大会取得巨大成功后，2017年KAUST-NSF交互电子研究大会将于2017年1月30日至2月1日在沙特阿拉伯图瓦尔阿卜杜拉国王科技大学(KAUST)举行。该奖项资助7名来自美国的优秀初级教职员工、研究人员、博士后和应届毕业生参加本次会议的旅费。会议的目的是延续2014至2016年全球科学界大会在共同阶段获得的积极势头，引导讨论互动电子领域的科学和工程研究进展。拟议的研讨会将再次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，在交互电子设备、材料和系统领域进行基础和应用研究。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。一些切实的成果是：a)建立注重可持续性的高技术研究文化；b)吸引世界各地有才智的青年进行思想交流；c)通过合作促进科学-工程教育和研究；d)促进妇女参与科学和工程；e)在K-12年级学生中促进科学、技术、工程和数学。

After the outstanding success of the 2014, 2015 and 2016 KAUST-NSF Research Conference on Electronic Materials, Devices and Systems for A Sustainable Future, the KAUST-NSF Research Conference on Interactive Electronics 2017 will be held from 30th January to 1st February 2017 at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. This award support the travel expenses for seven excellent junior faculty members, researchers, postdocs and graduating students from USA to attend this conference. The purpose of the conference is to continue the positive momentum garnered from the 2014 to 2016 assembly of the global scientific community at a common stage to steer discussion towards scientific and engineering research progress in the area of Interactive Electronics. The proposed symposium will again 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 interactive electronic devices, materials and systems. 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. Some of the tangible outcomes 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) Promoting the participation and contribution of women in science and engineering; e) Promoting science, technology, engineering and math among the K-12 students.
