The 2023 Synthetic Biology, Engineering, Evolution and Design (SEED) Conference will have an expanded range of topics and will emphasize burgeoning areas of synthetic biology such as synthetic applications for climate change and sustainability, and microbiome engineering for food and the environment. The broader range of topics will allow the conference to host scientists and engineers with diverse backgrounds. The conference will also allow students and early career professionals to share their work and learn about new advances in a rapidly growing field. Additionally, the conference will promote the continuous growth of members of the synthetic biology community, encouraging discussions among normally separated scientists and engineers and encouraging collaborations, which are critical for the development of new synthetic technologies and applications for biotechnology, agriculture and medicine.Over the past decade, the field of synthetic biology has rapidly developed from a research-based, theoretical discipline to one that is impacting society and will continue to grow in applications into the future. Since 2014, SEED has been the primary technical conference to gather people working in synthetic biology, including engineers, biologists, chemists, electrical engineers, computer scientists and more. The conference gathers an interdisciplinary audience to share technical presentations on cutting edge research and applications, network to develop relationships and connect people who may otherwise not have an opportunity to interact. Attendees include leaders in the field, established researchers, early career professionals and trainees who will lead the field in the coming decades. SEED’s goal is to share insights into next-generation development strategies in synthetic biology research and industry.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.

2023年合成生物学、工程、进化和设计(SEED)大会将有更广泛的议题，并将强调合成生物学的新兴领域，如合成应用于气候变化和可持续性，以及用于食品和环境的微生物群工程。更广泛的主题将使会议能够接待具有不同背景的科学家和工程师。会议还将允许学生和早期职业专业人士分享他们的工作，了解这个快速增长的领域的新进展。此外，大会将促进合成生物学社区成员的不断增长，鼓励通常分开的科学家和工程师之间的讨论，并鼓励合作，这对开发新的合成技术和生物技术、农业和医学的应用至关重要。在过去的十年里，合成生物学领域从一个以研究为基础的理论学科迅速发展为一个正在影响社会的学科，并将在未来继续在应用方面增长。自2014年以来，SEED一直是聚集合成生物学工作人员的主要技术会议，包括工程师、生物学家、化学家、电气工程师、计算机科学家等。会议聚集了跨学科的观众，分享关于尖端研究和应用的技术演示，建立网络来发展关系，并将原本可能没有机会互动的人联系起来。与会者包括该领域的领导者、知名研究人员、早期职业专业人士和将在未来几十年领导该领域的实习生。SEED的目标是分享对合成生物学研究和产业中下一代发展战略的见解。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。
