Conference on the Food-Energy-Water Nexus

这个食物-能源-水连接会议将于12月5日至6日在纽约市举行。会议提供了一个场所：(1)强调与食物-能源-水关系相关的技术发展中的障碍和举措；(2)审查与食物-能源-水关系相关的现行政策、技术、分析方法和创新解决方案；(3)展示化学和生物工程、化学、环境科学等领域的专业人员所做的研究；(4)鼓励代表该领域未来的研究生研究人员和博士后的积极参与；(5)将科学家和工程师聚集在一起，提供一个讨论他们的学科和方法的氛围和场所，并激发对限制技术发展的障碍的新研究，以确保未来的资源安全；(6)促进政府、行业和学术界之间的合作；(7)特别关注来自代表性不足群体的女性专业人士和科学家。会议旨在将来自学术界和工业界的研究人员聚集在一起，参加一个高度互动和引人入胜的会议，使专业人员和年轻研究人员能够通过有组织的会谈、小组讨论和问答讨论以及海报会议来听取彼此的意见。会议的成果将包括评价和总结衡量可持续性的各种方法以及与粮食-能源-水关系有关的新技术发展。重点将是优化资源利用，以确保在气候变化和人口增长的情况下资源安全。还将特别注意食物浪费问题及其对能源和水的相关影响。来自化学、土木、电气、环境和机械工程领域的学术界和工业界的工程师将参与其中，AIChE将维持一个虚拟网络，以实现持续的合作。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 Food-Energy-Water Nexus Conference will be held December 5-6, 3019 in New York City. The conference provides a venue for: (1) Highlighting obstacles and initiatives in the development of technologies related to the food-energy-water nexus, (2) Examining current policies, technologies, methods of analysis, and innovative solutions related to the food-energy-water nexus, (3) Showcasing research done by professionals in fields such as chemical and biological engineering, chemistry, environmental science, and more, (4) Encouraging active participation by graduate student researchers and post docs who represent the future of the field, (5) Bringing scientists and engineers together to provide an atmosphere and venue to discuss their disciplines and approaches, and to motivate new research into barriers limiting the development of technologies that would ensure resource security in the future, (6) Fostering collaborations between government, industry, and academia, and (7) a particular focus on women professionals and scientists from underrepresented groups. The conference is designed to bring together researchers from academia and industry to a highly-interactive and engaging meeting, enabling professionals and young researchers to hear from one another through organized talks, panel and Q&A discussions, and poster sessions. Outcomes of the conference will include both evaluation and summary of various ways to measure sustainability as well as novel technological developments related to the food-energy-water nexus. A focus will be on optimizing resource use as to ensure resource security amidst a changing climate and a growing population. Special attention will also be paid to the issue of food waste and its associated impacts on energy and water. Engineers from academia and industry from chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, and mechanical engineering perspectives will be engaged, and a virtual network will be sustained by AIChE to enable continued collaboration.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.
