Materials Selection and Design - A Tool to Enable Sustainable Materials Development and a Reduced Materials Footprint

非技术描述：在以往以可持续性为主题的MRS会议研讨会成功的基础上，ES 13研讨会将鼓励采用综合方法来考虑材料开发中可持续性的重要性，并将为核心材料技术及其与社会，生态和经济驱动因素的联系提供技术基础，跨学科讨论的媒介。 MRS安排了为期两天的研讨会和海报会议（2019年4月23日上午至4月24日下午），将阐明材料可持续发展的道路。技术说明：材料选择与设计（ES 13）研讨会将解决与正确理解，评估和减少当前产品和商品的材料足迹相关的基础研究挑战，这些产品和商品推动了我们的经济并满足了人类的需求。研讨会将为来自工业界、学术界和政府的材料研究人员和相关跨学科专家提供一个平台，从生命周期和设计的角度介绍可持续材料发展的研究，包括以可持续性为重点的材料选择和设计工具;数据需求、收集和管理;激励变革，促进可持续材料开发和综合研究，以实现循环经济。12位受邀演讲者将在研讨会上发表演讲，他们是可持续材料开发领域的世界领导者，代表着来自世界各地的工业界、学术界和非政府组织。 其中一个专题讨论会将包括一个1小时的小组讨论和与专题讨论会ES 14的联合会议：材料循环经济促进城市可持续发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: Building on the success of previous sustainability-themed MRS meeting symposia, Symposium ES13 will encourage an integrated approach toward the importance of considering sustainability in the development of materials and will provide a medium for technically based, interdisciplinary discussions of core materials technologies and their connection with societal, ecological, and economic drivers. MRS has scheduled a two-day symposium and poster session (morning of April 23 through afternoon of April 24, 2019) that will illuminate the path toward sustainable development of materials. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: This new Materials Selection and Design (ES13) symposium will address the fundamental research challenges associated with properly understanding, assessing and reducing the materials footprint of current products and commodities that drive our economy and meet the needs of humanity. The symposium will provide a platform for materials researchers and related interdisciplinary experts from industry, academia, and government to present research on sustainable materials development from a life cycle and design perspective, including topics on sustainability-focused materials selection and design tools; data needs, collection andmanagement; and incentivizing change to promote sustainable materials development and integrated research to move toward a circular economy. Twelve invited speakers, who are world leaders in sustainable materials development and represent industry, academia and nongovernmental organizations from around the world, will be giving presentations at the symposium. One of the symposium sessions will include a provocative 1-hour panel discussion and a joint session with Symposium ES14: Materials Circular Economy for Urban Sustainability.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
