Conference: Symposium on Industrial Ecology for Young Professionals

青年专业人员工业生态学研讨会由国际工业生态学学会学生分会委员会在戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的主持下组织，并伴随戈登工业生态学（IE）研究会议（GRC），于2024年5月25日至31日在瑞士Les diableets举行。该GRS和GRC都侧重于通过政策制定和实施将工业生态学研究转化为有形成果。此次GRS的主要目标是为从事工业工程研究的美国年轻专业人士提供一个机会，让他们利用自己的研究技能，确定和开发将环境工程和可持续性研究概念转化为行动的方法，讨论他们新颖的研究思想和经验，并获得建设性的反馈。学生分会社区现在由一百多名成员组成，由于良好的记录和丰富的活动策划经验，其董事会非常适合实现GRS的目标。该GRS与NSF环境可持续性计划的目标一致，即促进支持人类福祉和维持环境系统的可持续工程系统。GRS旨在通过其规划向参与者提供的目标包括：(1)学习如何识别和有效沟通研究与相关和新兴政策举措的交叉性；(2)建立论点框架的技能，以吸引包括政策制定者在内的跨学科受众；(3)将研究和沟通技巧转化为有效的研究计划和拨款写作习惯。GRS将为参与者提供基本技能，以协助研究和拨款写作，口头陈述，开发有效的研究产品并增加其研究的影响。它还将为学生和年轻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GRS将促进年轻专业人员之间持久的国际关系和合作。这些合作为联合项目提供了机会，预计将为美国科学界和整个社会带来好处。预计GRS将为参加会议的美国研究人员带来直接利益，并随着时间的推移，为源于思想分享和合作项目的国内和国际环境可持续性努力带来综合利益。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。

The Symposium on Industrial Ecology for Young Professionals is organized by the International Society for Industrial Ecology Student Chapter Board under the auspices of the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) accompanying the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in Industrial Ecology (IE), taking place May 25-31, 2024 in Les Diablerets, Switzerland. Both this GRS and GRC focus on translating industrial ecology research into tangible outcomes through policy development and implementation. The main goal of this GRS is to provide an opportunity for young US-based professionals who perform research in IE to use their research skills to identify and develop ways to translate environmental engineering and sustainability research concepts into action, discuss their novel research ideas and experiences, and receive constructive feedback. The student chapter community now consists of more than one hundred members, and its board is uniquely suited to achieve goals for the GRS due to a proven track record and robust event planning experience. This GRS aligns with the NSF Environmental Sustainability program goal of promoting sustainable engineered systems that support human well‐being and sustain environmental systems. The goals that the GRS aims to deliver to participants through its programming include: (1) learning how to identify and effectively communicate the intersectionality of research with pertinent and emerging policy initiatives; (2) building skills of argument framing to appeal to cross‐disciplinary audiences including policy makers; and (3) translating research and communication skills into effective research planning and grant writing habits.The GRS will provide participants fundamental skills that will assist in research and grant writing, oral presentation, developing effective research products and increasing the impact of their research. It will also provide students and young researchers with the skills to connect their research interests to policy relevant questions. Moreover, it is expected that the GRS will facilitate long‐lasting international relationships and collaboration among young professionals. These collaborations provide opportunity for joint projects that are anticipated to result in benefits to US science and society at large. It is expected that the GRS will have immediate benefits for those US researchers who attend, and compounding benefits for domestic and international environmental sustainability efforts that stem from idea-sharing and collaborative 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.
