2019 International Conference on Resource Sustainability - Cities (icRS Cities 2019)

这笔资金将支持20名美国早期职业研究人员(学生和博士后研究人员)参加将于2019年7月1日至3日在澳大利亚阿德莱德举行的2019年资源可持续发展-城市国际会议(ICRS Cities 2019)。这次会议为世界各地具有不同背景和专业知识的研究人员和实践者提供了一个平台，分享可持续城市系统资源管理的最新想法、成果和实践。鉴于目前世界一半以上的人口生活在城市，城市中心已成为资源和能源的主要汇，以及排放和废物的主要来源。ICRS Cities 2019将汇聚研究人员和从业人员，讨论如何通过明智的资源管理政策和做法实现城市可持续发展。参加会议将允许美国的早期研究人员展示他们的研究，并与世界各地的同行发展网络。会议将涵盖与可持续城市系统相关的广泛主题。解决复杂的城市可持续性挑战只能通过跨学科和跨学科的方法来制定。在自然科学家、工程师、社会科学家、行业从业者和政策制定者的参与下，我们预计2019年ICRS城市将为广大可持续资源管理界提供一个绝佳的场所，分享他们对城市可持续发展的研究结果和意见。我们还预计，ICRS城市2019年将填补关键的知识空白，进而有助于加强对全球城市系统面临的可持续发展挑战的全面了解。这一奖项反映了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。

This funding is to support 20 U.S.-based early-career researchers (students and postdoctoral researchers) to attend the 2019 International Conference on Resource Sustainability - Cities (icRS Cities 2019) to be held in Adelaide, Australia on July 1-3, 2019. The conference serves as a platform for researchers and practitioners around the world with diverse background and expertise to share the most recent ideas, outcomes, and practices on resources management for sustainable urban systems. Given that more than half of the world population now lives in cities, urban centers have become the primary sink of resources and energy, and major source of emissions and waste. icRS Cities 2019 will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss how to achieve urban sustainability through wise resources management policy and practices. Attending the conference will allow the U.S.-based early-career researchers to showcase their research and develop networks with their peers around the world.A wide range of topics will be covered at the conference related to sustainable urban systems. Solutions to the complex urban sustainability challenges can only be developed via inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches. With participation of natural scientists, engineers, social scientists, industry practitioners, and policy makers, we expect that icRS Cities 2019 will provide an excellent venue for the broad sustainable resources management community to share their findings and opinions on urban sustainability. We also expect icRS Cities 2019 will fill key knowledge gaps which in turn contribute to enhance the holistic understanding of sustainability challenges facing urban systems worldwide.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.
