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

这笔会议赠款是为了部分支持在美国的学生和早期职业研究人员参加将于6月12-15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)。会议将讨论一系列问题，以评估和管理产品和服务的整个生命周期，以及可持续工程系统和技术的设计、管理和政策影响。ISSST会议的框架是，通过跨学科的方法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叉授粉对于为社会面临的重大挑战制定可持续的解决方案是必要的。ISSST会议将包括以下主题/领域：(1)农业生态学和工业生态学的交集；(2)综合的人-物系统；(3)能源和基础设施系统的可持续性和/或弹性；(4)可持续发展教育；以及(5)其他与可持续发展有关的创造性主题--展示来自非STEM(科学、技术、工程、数学)学科的独特伙伴关系、大想法和视角的新方法和新想法。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。会议的目标是在其跨学科框架的基础上最大限度地发挥影响。会议将突出技术系统的社会层面和提出的工程解决方案。社会公平、差别获取和影响以及环境正义将是会议所有五个主题的突出问题。预计还将举行几届会议，讨论废物定价这一新出现的问题。一群不同的成员将通过论文和海报演示以及正式和非正式讨论来分享他们在可持续发展科学和工程方面的工作。会议还将有不同的全体/主旨演讲者，包括亚利桑那州立大学的总统教授、林肯工程和伦理学教授Braden Allenby博士，以及来自爱荷华州立大学的麦克阿瑟研究员获得者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机会，从整体上获得可持续发展的研究经验。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。

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.
