Workshop entitled, "Formulation Science and Engineering for the Common Good"

题为“配方科学与工程促进共同利益”的研讨会将于2019年11月在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行。研讨会的重点是强调配方的科学和工程方面。配方产品是为满足特定要求而设计的多组分化学系统，它们对食品、个人护理和制药等广泛行业都很重要。配方根据成分（包括长链分子和微粒物质）的比例表现出有趣的结构和性质。该研讨会汇集了大学研究人员和行业工程师，讨论和交流该领域的最新想法，并促进未来的合作。该论坛还为青年研究人员提供了一个平台，让他们了解该领域的专业发展和载体机会。研讨会计划包括主题演讲，提供专家对当前最先进的配方研究和开发的看法。主题演讲之后是关于关键主题的小组讨论，如新兴趋势、数据驱动方法、计算工具以及配方相关研究的挑战和机遇。本次讲习班的长期目标是促进采用多学科和协作的方法进行配方研究，这些方法可以证明对实现健康和环境方面的预期社会成果具有变革性。讲习班结束时将编写一份报告，其中将包括讲习班调查结果的摘要和对配方领域主要机会的讨论。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。

The workshop entitled, "Formulation Science and Engineering for the Common Good" will be held during November of 2019 in Orlando, Florida. The workshop focuses on highlighting both the science and engineering aspects of formulation. Formulated products are multi-component chemical systems that are designed to meet specific requirements, and they are important for a broad range of industries such as food, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. Formulations exhibit interesting structures and properties based on the proportion of components including long chain molecules and particulate matter. This workshop brings together university researchers and industry engineers to discuss and exchange the latest ideas in the field and to foster future collaborations. The forum also serves as a platform to educate young researchers about professional development and carrier opportunities in this field. The workshop program includes keynote lectures that offer expert views on the current state-of-the-art in formulations research and development. The keynotes are followed by panel discussions on key themes such as emerging trends, data-driven approaches, computational tools, and challenges and opportunities for formulation-related research. The long-term objective of this workshop is to foster multidisciplinary and collaborative approaches toward formulations research that could prove transformative towards achieving desired societal outcomes in terms of health and environment. A report will be prepared at the end of the workshop that will include a summary of the workshop findings and a discussion of major opportunities in the formulations field.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.
