Conference: Student and Junior Faculty Support for the International Symposium on Sustainable Systems and Technology (ISSST) 2022

2224644(陆)。国际可持续系统与技术研讨会（ISSST）会议将吸引来自多个学科的参与者关注可持续性和工程挑战。本次会议将于2022年6月21日至23日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行，将讨论产品和服务在整个生命周期内的评估和管理问题，以及可持续工程系统和技术的设计、管理和政策影响。ISSST 2022将突出五个主题：(1)综合人类-物理系统-如何将人类维度融入可持续设计和实施；(2)基础设施的可持续性和弹性-对建筑环境的可持续性和弹性进行定量评估；(3)可持续发展评估方法的进展——发展新的可持续发展评估方法，包括数据科学和分析、机器学习、多目标分析和其他新兴系统和技术的方法；(4)可持续发展教育——不同层次的可持续发展教学方法和可持续发展课程设计的经验教训；(5)其他与可持续发展相关的创造性主题-展示独特合作伙伴关系的新方法和想法，大想法，来自非stem（科学，技术，工程，数学）学科的观点。会议还将举办特别会议，将与会者聚集在一起，参加教育会议、研讨会、交流和专业技能发展。会议旨在吸引学生和年轻教师的大量参与，因为这对开发下一代可持续解决方案至关重要。这笔拨款将有助于扩大来自美国各地的学生，代表性不足的群体和初级教师对ISSST 2022的参与。社会公平、差别获取和影响以及环境正义将贯穿2022年会议的所有五个主题。预计还将有几次会议讨论2019冠状病毒病大流行对生产和消费、污染和关键基础设施系统的影响。不同的成员将通过论文和海报展示，以及正式和非正式的讨论，分享他们在可持续发展科学和工程方面的工作。会议还将邀请多位全体会议/主题演讲嘉宾，包括匹兹堡大学可持续发展主任Aurora Sharrad博士和荷兰莱顿大学的Ranran Wang博士。所有这些都将为参与者提供一个讨论愿景、教育方法和挑战的场所，并为教育工作者和学生提供机会，以全面的方式了解可持续发展研究。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。

2224644 (Lu). The International Symposium on Sustainable Systems and Technology (ISSST) conference will engage participants from multiple disciplines to focus on sustainability and engineering challenges. This conference, to be held June 21-23, 2022 in Pittsburgh, PA, will address a spectrum of issues for assessing and managing products and services across their life cycle, as well as the design, management, and policy implications of sustainably engineered systems and technologies. ISSST 2022 will highlight five themes: (1) Integrated human-physical systems – how to integrate human dimensions into sustainability design and implementations; (2) Infrastructure sustainability and resiliency – quantitative assessment of the sustainability and resiliency of the built environment; (3) Advances in sustainability assessment methods – the development of new sustainability assessment methods, including data science and analytics, machine learning, multi-objective analyses, and other methods for emerging systems and technologies; (4) Sustainability education – pedagogical approaches to teaching sustainability at different levels and lessons learned in designing sustainability curriculum; and (5) Other creative sustainability-related topics – new methods and ideas that demonstrate unique partnerships, big ideas, perspectives from non-STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) disciplines. The conference will also host special sessions to bring participants together in educational sessions, workshops, communications, and professional skills development. The conference is designed for significant participation from students and young faculty members, as this is critical for developing the next generation of sustainable solutions. This grant will help to expand the participation of students, underrepresented groups, and junior faculty from across the United States in ISSST 2022. Social equity, differential access and impacts, and environmental justice will be prominent across all of the five themes of the 2022 conference. Several sessions are also expected to address the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on production and consumption, pollution, and critical infrastructure systems. A diverse group of members will share their work in sustainability science and engineering through paper and poster presentations, as well as formal and informal discussions. The conference will also feature a variety of plenary/keynote speakers, including Dr. Aurora Sharrad, Director of Sustainability, from University of Pittsburgh and Dr. Ranran Wang from Leiden University, Netherlands. All of this will provide participants a venue for discussing visions, educational approaches, challenges, as well as provide educators and students opportunities to gain insight on research on sustainability in a holistic manner.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.
