#1719193 2017环境纳米技术戈登研究会议和研讨会：纳米技术应用和影响的前沿研究平台2017环境纳米技术戈登研究会议（GRC），下一代纳米技术：材料、应用和影响，以及相关的戈登研究研讨会（GRS），环境纳米技术的产品创新和新方法，将于6月18日至23日在佛蒙特州斯托举行。会议汇集了来自全球学术界、工业界和政府的顶尖科学家和工程师，他们致力于以一种对人类健康和环境安全的方式推进纳米技术。越来越多的商业、工业和环保产品和工艺正在使用纳米系统。纳米技术为改善人类健康、产品性能、能源和食品生产效率以及环境保护提供了巨大的机会。从这些机会中获益必须伴随着保护环境的知识和政策。第四届GRC以成功的会议历史为基础，将挑战演讲者和与会者考虑这些新兴创新的视野和环境纳米技术的影响。GRC取得了巨大的成功，并在促进会议方面取得了良好的记录，这些会议是由各自学科和社区的科学领袖参与的深入、激烈的科学讨论。本次环境纳米技术GRC将重点关注新兴主题，包括i)纳米材料在食品和农业中的应用，ii)制造中的转化问题和设计机会，以及iii)质疑纳米产品的原因，为什么不以及如何以及该领域核心的反复出现的主题，包括吸引公众和纳米生物现象和过程。这将是第二个环境纳米技术GRS，它是由早期职业科学家和工程师组织的。研究生、博士后助理和一组受邀导师将聚集在一起，为引人入胜的技术研究会议和导师小组做出贡献。今年的会议包括：1)纳米技术：当前替代品的新应用和优势，2)纳米引发的生物失活的阴阳，以及3)评估纳米技术对环境影响和效益权衡的新方法。指导部分将包括该领域领先期刊的编辑，讨论并提供有关出版成功的指导。

#1719193 2017 Environmental Nanotechnology Gordon Research Conference and Seminar: A Platform for Cutting Edge Research in Nanotechnology Applications and ImplicationsThee 2017 Environmental Nanotechnology Gordon Research Conference (GRC), The Next Generation of Nanotechnology: Materials, Applications, and Implications, and the associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), Product Innovations and Novel Methodologies in Environmental Nanotechnology, which will be held, in conjunction, June 18-23 in Stowe, VT. The conference brings together leading scientists and engineers from across the globe in academia, industry and government who are motivated to advance nanotechnologies in a way that is safe for human health and the environment. Increasingly commercial, industrial and environmental products and processes are using nano-enabled systems. Nanotechnology offers tremendous opportunities to improve human health, product performance, energy and food production efficiency, and environmental protection. Benefitting from such opportunities must be accompanied by knowledge and policy that protects the environment. This fourth GRC builds on a successful conference history, and will challenge speakers and participants to consider the horizon of these emerging innovations and implications of environmental nanotechnology.The GRC has a tremendous success and track record of facilitating meetings that are in depth, intense scientific discussions involving scientific leaders in their disciplines and communities. This Environmental Nanotechnology GRC will focus on emerging topics, including i) applications of nanomaterials in food and agriculture, ii) translational issues and design opportunities in manufacturing, and iii) question the why, why not and how of nano-enabled products as well as recurring themes at the heart of the field, including engaging the public and nano-bio-phenomena and processes. This will be the second Environmental Nanotechnology GRS, which is organized by and for early career scientists and engineers. Graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and a group of invited mentors will come together to contribute to engaging technical research sessions and a mentorship panel. This year, sessions include, i) Nanotechnology: Novel Applications and Advantages to Current Alternatives, ii) The Yin and Yang of Nano-initiated Biological Inactivation, and iii) Novel Methodologies for Evaluating Environmental Impact-Benefit Tradeoffs of Nanotechnology. The mentorship component will include editors of leading journals in the field to discuss and provide guidance on publishing success.
