AbstractProposal Title: Workshop on Applications of Nanotechnology in the Water Sector: Emerging Opportunities and Challenges for Water Treatment and ReusePrincipal Investigator: Pedro AlvarezInstitution: Rice University Proposal No: CBET-1100755The IWA Specialist group on "Nano and Water" will host a 3-day international workshop on ?Applications of Nanotechnology in the Water Sector?, to contribute towards sustainable water management and global water security. This workshop will be partially sponsored by the Swiss host institutions ETH and EAWAG. The workshop will address issues of research & education arising from the interface of nanotechnology and water engineering in a meaningful and focused dialogue, and provide valuable mentorship and international networking opportunities to emerging leaders and young researchers in this rapidly growing field through an integrated experience. The funding requested from NSF would be used to subsidize travel by US researchers especially junior faculty and postdocs, who would greatly benefit from this unique opportunity to share knowledge and technologies in this emerging field and identify research priorities. Topics to discuss include: (1) Nanosorbents; (2) Nanocatalysts, bio and redox -active NP; (3) Dendritic polymers / Biopolymers; (4) Multifunctional membranes (including nanostructured membranes); (5) Sensors / Monitoring systems; and (6) Safety Issues.The broader impacts will result from the active engagement of the workshop?s participants. This engagement will undoubtedly enhance and strengthen the opportunities for and interest in international, interdisciplinary as well as academic-industrial collaboration on environmental applications of nanomaterials. In addition, the workshop will provide a solid foundation for the academic community?s future: (a) involvement in supporting and furthering CBET?s vision, mission, and goals; and (b) collaboration in research and education programs, projects, and activities at greater and closer levels. Thus, this workshop will not only help participants to craft better proposals and compete more effectively, but it will also contribute to the overall development of young faculty members.

摘要权益标题：纳米技术在水领域的应用研讨会：水处理和重新司机研究人员的新兴机会和挑战。可持续水管理和全球水安全。 该研讨会将由瑞士东道机构ETH和EAWAG部分赞助。 该研讨会将解决纳米技术和水工程的界面在有意义且集中的对话中引起的研究和教育问题，并通过综合体验在这一迅速发展的领域的新兴领导者和年轻研究人员提供宝贵的指导和国际网络机会。 NSF要求的资金将用于补贴美国研究人员，尤其是初级教师和博士后的旅行，他们将从这个独特的机会中受益匪浅，可以在这个新兴领域共享知识和技术并确定研究优先级。 要讨论的主题包括：（1）纳米吸附剂； （2）纳米催化剂，生物和氧化还原活性NP； （3）树突聚合物 /生物聚合物； （4）多功能膜（包括纳米结构膜）； （5）传感器 /监视系统； （6）安全问题。研讨会的参与者的积极参与将造成更广泛的影响。 毫无疑问，这种参与将增强和加强对纳米材料环境应用的国际，跨学科以及学术工业合作的机会和兴趣。 此外，研讨会将为学术界的未来提供坚实的基础：（a）参与支持和进一步的CBET的愿景，使命和目标； （b）在更大，更接近的研究和教育计划，项目和活动方面的合作。 因此，该研讨会不仅将帮助参与者制定更好的建议并更有效地竞争，而且还将为年轻教职员工的整体发展做出贡献。
