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

题为《配方科学与工程造福共同利益》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的行业非常重要。根据包括长链分子和颗粒物质在内的成分的比例，配方显示出有趣的结构和性质。这次研讨会将大学研究人员和行业工程师聚集在一起，讨论和交流该领域的最新想法，并促进未来的合作。该论坛还作为一个平台，教育年轻研究人员有关该领域的专业发展和载体机会。研讨会计划包括主旨讲座，提供关于当前配方研究和开发的最新技术的专家观点。在主旨发言之后，小组讨论了一些关键主题，如新出现的趋势、数据驱动的方法、计算工具以及与公式相关的研究的挑战和机遇。这一研讨会的长期目标是促进多学科和协作的配方研究方法，这些方法可以证明对在健康和环境方面实现预期的社会结果具有变革性。研讨会结束时将准备一份报告，其中将包括研讨会发现的总结和对配方领域主要机会的讨论。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
