2019 International Conference on Resource Sustainability - Cities (icRS Cities 2019)

该基金将支持20名美国早期职业研究人员（学生和博士后研究人员）参加将于2019年7月1日至3日在澳大利亚阿德莱德举行的2019年资源可持续性城市国际会议（icRS Cities 2019）。会议为世界各地具有不同背景和专业知识的研究人员和实践者提供了一个平台，分享可持续城市系统资源管理的最新想法、成果和实践。鉴于目前世界上一半以上的人口居住在城市，城市中心已成为资源和能源的主要汇，也是排放和废物的主要来源。icRS城市2019将汇集研究人员和实践者，讨论如何通过明智的资源管理政策和实践实现城市可持续性。参加这次会议将使美国的早期职业研究人员能够展示他们的研究成果，并与世界各地的同行建立联系。会议将讨论与可持续城市系统有关的广泛议题。解决复杂的城市可持续性挑战的方法只能通过跨学科的方法来开发。随着自然科学家、工程师、社会科学家、行业从业者和政策制定者的参与，我们期待icRS城市2019将为广泛的可持续资源管理社区提供一个绝佳的场所，分享他们对城市可持续发展的发现和意见。我们还希望《2019年国际城市研究报告》将填补关键的知识空白，从而有助于加强对全球城市系统面临的可持续性挑战的整体理解。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This funding is to support 20 U.S.-based early-career researchers (students and postdoctoral researchers) to attend the 2019 International Conference on Resource Sustainability - Cities (icRS Cities 2019) to be held in Adelaide, Australia on July 1-3, 2019. The conference serves as a platform for researchers and practitioners around the world with diverse background and expertise to share the most recent ideas, outcomes, and practices on resources management for sustainable urban systems. Given that more than half of the world population now lives in cities, urban centers have become the primary sink of resources and energy, and major source of emissions and waste. icRS Cities 2019 will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss how to achieve urban sustainability through wise resources management policy and practices. Attending the conference will allow the U.S.-based early-career researchers to showcase their research and develop networks with their peers around the world.A wide range of topics will be covered at the conference related to sustainable urban systems. Solutions to the complex urban sustainability challenges can only be developed via inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches. With participation of natural scientists, engineers, social scientists, industry practitioners, and policy makers, we expect that icRS Cities 2019 will provide an excellent venue for the broad sustainable resources management community to share their findings and opinions on urban sustainability. We also expect icRS Cities 2019 will fill key knowledge gaps which in turn contribute to enhance the holistic understanding of sustainability challenges facing urban systems worldwide.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.
