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

该会议资助部分用于支持美国学生和早期职业研究人员参加将于6月12日至15日在科罗拉多州柯林斯堡举行的2023年可持续系统与技术国际研讨会（ISSST）。会议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会议框架是通过跨学科的方法来解决复杂的可持续性问题。自然科学家、工程师、社会科学家、行业代表和政策制定者之间的思想交流是为社会面临的重大挑战制定可持续解决方案的必要条件。ISSST会议将包括以下主题/领域：(1)农业生态学与工业生态学的交叉；(2)人-物一体化系统；(3)能源和基础设施系统的可持续性和/或弹性；(4)可持续教育；(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。会议的目标是通过建立其跨学科框架来最大化影响。会议将强调技术系统的社会层面和拟议的工程解决方案。社会公平、差别获取和影响以及环境正义将贯穿会议的所有五个主题。预计几届会议还将讨论新出现的废物增值问题。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，包括亚利桑那州立大学校长教授、林肯工程与伦理学教授Braden Allenby博士和爱荷华州立大学麦克阿瑟奖获得者Lisa Schulte Moore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从整体上获得可持续发展研究经验的机会。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 conference grant is for partial support of US-based students and early career researchers to attend the 2023 International Symposium on Sustainable Systems and Technology (ISSST) conference to be held June 12-15 in Fort Collins, Colorado. The conference will cover 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. The ISSST conference framework is that solutions to complex sustainability issues are achieved via trans- disciplinary approaches. Cross-pollination of ideas among natural scientists, engineers, social scientists, industry representatives, and policy makers is necessary for developing sustainable solutions to the grand challenges that society faces. The ISSST conference will include the following themes/areas: (1) The intersection of agroecology and industrial ecology; (2) Integrated human- physical systems; (3) Sustainability and/or resiliency of energy and infrastructure systems; (4) Sustainability education; 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 goal of the conference is to maximize impacts by building on its trans- disciplinary framework. The conference will highlight social dimensions of technological systems and proposed engineering solutions. Social equity, differential access and impacts, and environmental justice will be prominent across all of the five themes of the conference. Several sessions are also expected to address the emerging issue of waste valorization. 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. Braden Allenby, President's Professor and Lincoln Professor of Engineering and Ethics, from Arizona State University and Dr. Lisa Schulte Moore, a MacArthur Fellows Recipient, from Iowa State University. All of this will provide participants a venue for discussing visions, educational approaches, and challenges, as well as provide educators and students opportunities to gain research experience 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.
