Proposal: 1743631PI: Kimberly OgdenOver the past two decades industries have made significant efforts to improve energy and material efficiency in engineered systems, design greener products and sustainable supply chains, and become more responsible to the society through improving their business sustainability. Sustainability science and engineering has become an active area of research in various disciplines of engineering, natural, and social sciences. Sustainability theories and sustainability assessment, analysis, design and decision making methodologies as well as tools have been developed, many of which are used to tackle real-world problems in collaboration with industries. To improve communications and promote experience sharing, networking, and collaboration between academia, government, and industry, a variety of sustainability related conferences, symposiums, and workshops are organized around the world every year. To address much broader issues of sustainability science and engineering, facilitate discussions on scientific and technological development, and share research and practice experiences in industrial sustainability, a group of scientists, educators, and engineers, and governmental officers organized the sixth event of a conference series, namely the 6th International Congress on Sustainability Science and Engineering (ICOSSE 17). The conference will be held in Barcelona, Spain in October 2017. This is the third time for the ICOSSE series to organize an event in an international setting. The breadth of the conference is rapidly expanding. The conference is organized on three key themes: transition to sustainable living, sustainable technologies in manufacturing and processing industries, and bringing sustainability into the mainstream. Specific topics include process intensification, green chemistry, the food-energy-water nexus, and advances in sustainability education. The conference bridges the gap between research and development and strengthens the linkage between industry and academia, while exploring opportunities for broad international collaboration. This meeting will be held in Europe concurrently with the 10th World Congress of Chemical Engineering. The travel grant will help US academic attendees take this opportunity to learn the cutting-edge research in various fields of sustainability, share their experience with world-class leaders and other colleagues, especially those in European region, and identify international collaboration opportunities in strengthening sustainable engineering research and education. Junior faculty members, young researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, especially those from underrepresented minority groups in science and engineering will be strongly encouraged to attend the conference. Student poster paper competitions will provide an opportunity for students to present their research activities and receive advice from leading experts from different countries. To disseminate results, selected papers will be submitted to five technical journals.

提案：1743631 PI：Kimberly Ogden在过去的二十年里，工业界在提高工程系统的能源和材料效率、设计更环保的产品和可持续供应链方面做出了巨大努力，并通过提高商业可持续性对社会更加负责。可持续发展科学与工程已成为工程、自然科学和社会科学各学科的一个活跃研究领域。可持续性理论和可持续性评估，分析，设计和决策方法以及工具已经开发出来，其中许多用于与行业合作解决现实世界的问题。为了改善学术界、政府和工业界之间的沟通和促进经验分享、网络和合作，每年在世界各地组织各种与可持续发展相关的会议、研讨会和讲习班。为了解决更广泛的可持续性科学和工程问题，促进关于科学和技术发展的讨论，并分享工业可持续性的研究和实践经验，一群科学家，教育工作者，工程师和政府官员组织了第六届会议系列活动，即第六届国际可持续性科学和工程大会（ICOSSE 17）。会议将于2017年10月在西班牙巴塞罗那举行。这是ICOSSE系列第三次在国际环境中组织活动。会议的范围正在迅速扩大。会议围绕三个关键主题组织：向可持续生活过渡，制造和加工行业的可持续技术，以及将可持续性纳入主流。具体的主题包括过程强化，绿色化学，食品能源水的关系，并在可持续发展教育的进展。 会议弥合了研究与开发之间的差距，加强了工业界和学术界之间的联系，同时探索了广泛的国际合作机会。 这次会议将与第十届世界化学工程大会同时在欧洲举行。这笔旅费资助将帮助美国学者借此机会了解可持续发展各个领域的前沿研究，与世界级领导人和其他同事，特别是欧洲地区的领导人和其他同事分享他们的经验，并确定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代表性不足的少数群体将被强烈鼓励参加会议。 学生海报论文比赛将为学生提供一个机会，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。为了传播成果，将向五个技术期刊提交选定的论文。
