2020 International Conference on Resource Sustainability (icRS 2020); Dublin, Ireland; June 30 - July 2, 2020

该旅行奖将支持20名美国早期职业研究人员参加2020年国际资源可持续性会议（icRS 2020），该会议将于2020年6月30日至7月2日在爱尔兰都柏林举行。icRS 2020会议为世界各地的研究人员和从业者提供了一个平台，从不发达经济体、发展中经济体和发达经济体的不同角度推进资源在循环经济中的关键作用。会议将讨论如何通过明智的资源管理政策和实践实现城市的可持续发展。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。在会议上，预计将有400-500名与会者通过论文和海报展示以及正式和非正式讨论来分享他们的工作。来自STEM领域代表性不足群体的研究人员将优先选择参与者。会议的高质量论文将被推荐到支持会议的期刊的特刊上。会议将组织编辑小组，让与会者与相关期刊的学术出版编辑直接互动。早期职业研究人员将受益于与编辑小组的正式互动以及会议期间的非正式互动。这种网络将通过更好地了解评估稿件提交的编辑标准来帮助他们的学术生涯。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 travel award will support 20 U.S.-based early-career researchers to attend the 2020 International Conference on Resource Sustainability (icRS 2020) to be held in Dublin, Ireland from June 30th to July 2nd, 2020. The icRS 2020 conference serves as a platform for researchers and practitioners around the world to advance the critical role of resources in the circular economy from the diverse perspectives of underdeveloped, developing and developed economies. The conference will 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 to develop networks with their peers around the world.At the conference, it is expected that a diverse group of 400-500 participants will share their work through both paper and poster presentations, as well as formal and informal discussions. Researchers from groups underrepresented in STEM fields will be given priority in participant selection. High-quality papers from the conference will be recommended to special issues in journals that support the conference. An Editor Panel will be organized at the conference to allow direct interactions between conference attendees and editors of relevant journals on academic publishing. Early-career researchers will benefit from formal interactions with editors at the Editor Panel as well as informal interactions during the conference. This networking will help their academic careers through a better understanding of editorial criteria in evaluating manuscript submissions.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.
