Conference: The 8th Symposium on Industrial Ecology for Young Professionals

本次工业生态学青年专家研讨会（SIEYP VIII）由国际工业生态学学会学生分会（ISIE‐SCB）组织，重点关注通过政策制定或实施将工业生态学（IE）研究转化为有形成果。本次研讨会的主要目标是为从事工业工程研究的年轻专业人士提供一个机会，以提高他们识别和开发将环境工程和可持续性研究概念转化为可操作项目的方法的技能，参观会议地点荷兰莱顿附近的工业地区，这些地区已经实施了创新的工业工程概念，讨论他们新颖的研究想法和经验，并获得建设性的反馈。研讨会将于2023年7月初举行。研讨会将培养参与者的基本技能，这些技能将有助于研究和资助写作、口头陈述、开发有效的研究产品以及增加其研究的影响。研讨会还将为学生和青年研究人员提供将他们的研究兴趣与政策相关问题联系起来的技能。此外，预计本次研讨会将促进青年专业人士之间长期的国际关系和合作。这些互动为联合项目提供了机会，可能会给美国科学界和整个社会带来好处。这次研讨会将为参加会议的美国研究人员带来立竿见影的好处，并为长期以来源于思想交流和联合项目的国内外环境可持续性努力带来综合效益。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 Symposium on Industrial Ecology for Young Professionals (SIEYP VIII), organized by the International Society for Industrial Ecology Student Chapter Board (ISIE‐SCB), focuses on translating industrial ecology (IE) research into tangible outcomes through policy development or implementation. The main goal of this symposium is to provide an opportunity for young professionals who perform research in IE to enhance their skills to identify and develop ways to translate environmental engineering and sustainability research concepts into actionable items, visit industrial areas proximate to the conference location in Leiden, the Netherlands that have implemented innovative IE concepts, discuss their novel research ideas and experiences, and receive constructive feedback. The Symposium will be held during early July 2023. The symposium will build participants' fundamental skills that will assist in research and grant writing, oral presentation, developing effective research products, and increasing the impact of their research. The symposium will also provide students and young researchers with the skills to connect their research interests to policy relevant questions. Moreover, it is expected that this symposium will facilitate initiation of long‐lasting international relationships and collaboration among young professionals. These interactions provide opportunity for joint projects that may result in benefits to USA science and society at large. The symposium will have immediate benefits for participating U.S. researchers, and compounding benefits for domestic and international environmental sustainability efforts that stem from idea sharing and joint projects over time.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.
