Nanotechnology is recognized as a transformative approach that will improve products and processes across numerous sectors of the economy, and holds promise to improve the sustainability of food, water and energy systems. However, these benefits have potential risks both actual and perceived - to living organisms and the environment, in part due to a general lack of public understanding regarding nanotechnology. This conference entitled Sustainable Nanotechnology in the 2020's, part of the Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization (SNO) will be held from November 7-9, 2019 in San Diego, CA. The conference will strive to achieve equal gender representation, and at least 30% attendees being underrepresented minorities, and funding will be used in part to support student involvement and broaden participation. SNO is now a self-sustaining organization with the following mission: i) Support the development of sustainable nanotechnology for the improvement of society, the environment and human health; ii) Promote the advancement and application of scientific research related to nanotechnology, implementation of sustainable nanotechnology for environment, health, and safety, and the use of nanotechnology in policy and decision-making; and iii) Provide a forum where scientists, engineers, and other professionals exchange information and ideas for the development and use of nanotechnology leading to overall sustainability. The conference focuses on looking forward, instead of backward, to understand where nanotechnology is making the most significant environmental scientific breakthroughs and demonstrate how applications using nanotechnology can be sustainably developed between 2020 to 2030.This conference entitled Sustainable Nanotechnology in the 2020's, part of the Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization (SNO) will be held from November 7-9, 2019 in San Diego, CA. Other recent scientific conferences including American Chemical Society, Gordon Conference, Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, and International Conference on the Environmental Effects of Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials have identified several issues concerning the use, safety, biological and environmental transformation of engineered nanostructured materials. Hence, the motivation for this conference is to (1) draw attention to the need to proactively manage the emergence of nanotechnology into society so as to avert such problems that arose with earlier products such as DDT, leaded gasoline, and PCBs and numerous other substances, and (2) advance sustainable technologies that utilize nanotechnology to solve wicked-problems where traditional approaches have significant drawbacks. Such-problems require a convergence of ideas, skillsets and people and the 2019 annual SNO conference will bring together these diverse people to share their vision for the nanotechnology impacts on sustainability in 2020 to 2030. The conference will be co-chaired by Profs. Vicki Grassian and Paul Westerhoff, both leaders in the field of sustainable nanotechnology. There are six accepted plenary speakers and a young group of dynamic experts have been recruited to assist in conference coordination. Anticipated session topics include: Emerging nanotechnologies for sustainable energy, education, Food and Agriculture, Water Treatment and Remediation, Fate and Transport, Measuring Nanomaterial Exposure & Effects in Environmental Health Research, Green Synthesis or Manufacturing, and Nanomaterials and Indoor Environments. The co-chairs are empowering the session chairs to progressively recruit abstracts with mentoring as needed from senior conference organizers. These topics are critical areas where nanotechnology can achieve major breakthroughs and this conference provides a forum for approximately 150 attendees to share ideas, develop collaborations and recognize accomplishments of leaders in the field. The conference provides awards for groundbreaking research, and is one of the few formats where such community recognition of environmental nanotechnology is provided. By focusing on food-water-energy topics, in addition to air, human health, and manufacturing, this conference supports critical research priorities and provides an opportunity to create new industries and high-tech jobs.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.

纳米技术被公认为是一种变革性的方法，它将改善经济众多部门的产品和流程，并保持有望提高粮食，水和能源系统的可持续性。但是，这些好处在实际和感知到的生物和环境中都有潜在的风险，部分原因是人们普遍缺乏对纳米技术的了解。这次会议名为2020年代的可持续纳米技术，可持续纳米技术组织（SNO）的一部分将于2019年11月7日至9日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行。会议将努力实现同等的性别代表，至少有30％的与会者代表人数不足，并将用于部分用来支持学生参与和扩大参与。 SNO现在是一个自我维持的组织，具有以下任务：i）支持可持续纳米技术的发展，以改善社会，环境和人类健康； ii）促进与纳米技术有关的科学研究的进步和应用，对环境，健康和安全的可持续纳米技术的实施以及在政策和决策中使用纳米技术； iii）提供了一个论坛，在该论坛上，科学家，工程师和其他专业人员交流了纳米技术的开发和使用的信息和思想，从而实现整体可持续性。该会议的重点是展望而不是向后，以了解纳米技术在何处实现了最重要的环境科学突破，并证明了如何在2020年至2030年之间如何可持续地开发使用使用纳米技术的应用。该会议的题为“可持续的纳米技术”在2020年的可持续纳米技术中，在2020年代，可持续的纳米技术组织的一部分（来自SNO）的一部分（SNO）（sno）（SNO）（sno）的9月9日。 其他最近的科学会议，包括美国化学学会，戈登会议，环境毒理学与化学学会以及纳米颗粒和纳米材料的环境影响国际会议，已经确定了有关工程纳米结构材料的使用，安全，生物学和环境转型的几个问题。因此，这次会议的动机是（1）引起人们的注意，需要主动管理纳米技术在社会中的出现，以避免避免使用早期产品（例如DDT，铅汽油和PCB和PCB和许多其他物质）等早期产品出现的问题，以及（2）利用Nanotechnologic for Nananotechnologic for Nannotechnologic for nannotagice forve withve wicked wicked wicked wicked witched witched witched witched withs novely novelmbles。这样的问题需要融合思想，技能和人，2019年年度SNO会议将汇集这些多样的人，以分享2020年至2030年对纳米技术对可持续性的影响的愿景。该会议将由教授共同主持。 Vicki Grassian和Paul Westerhoff是可持续纳米技术领域的领导者。有六位公认的全体演讲者，已经招募了一群年轻的充满活力的专家来协助会议协调。预期的会议主题包括：用于可持续能源，教育，食品和农业，水处理和补救，命运和运输的新兴纳米技术，测量纳米材料的暴露和在环境健康研究，绿色合成或制造中的影响以及纳米材料和室内环境。共同主席正在授权会议椅，以根据需要的高级会议组织者的指导逐步招募摘要。这些主题是纳米技术可以取得重大突破的关键领域，本次会议为大约150名参与者提供了一个论坛，以分享想法，发展合作并认识到该领域的领导者成就。该会议为开创性研究提供了奖项，是提供社区认可环境纳米技术的少数格式之一。通过专注于空气，人类健康和制造业外，该会议还支持关键的研究优先事项，并提供了创造新行业和高科技工作的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和广泛影响的评估来通过评估来提供支持的。
