NON TECHNICALA one-day Focus-on-Sustainability program of activities created by the Materials Research Society (MRS) and supported by the Division of Materials Research for the 2014 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit in Boston, MA, is designed to raise the awareness of the nexus between materials, materials research, and sustainable practice. The program will create opportunities for a diverse group of stakeholders to interact in a variety of ways to build a community of practice-galvanizing action towards, and bolstering participation in, research and education focusing on sustainability and the key role that materials play. The planned events include a session of invited talks by corporate social responsibility officers to be embedded in an existing Materials as Tools for Sustainability symposium, a poster competition for the MRS University Chapters (Sustainability@MySchool), a keynote presentation by a materials/sustainability-innovator in the Technology Innovation Forum, a preview of the new STEM course "Impact of Materials on Society," a Corporate Sustainability Roundtable, a preview of Strange Matter Green Earth museum exhibition under development by the MRS, a dynamic floor session on interacting with the public, and networking events to start and end the program.TECHNICALThe Materials Research Society (MRS) Focus-on-Sustainability events, supported by the Division of Materials Research, will kick off the 2014 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit on Sunday, November 30th and run through Monday, December 1. A central strategy for the program is the participation of corporate social responsibility leaders. It is important to connect this corporate group with the materials research community, in order to foster new synergies that drive research supporting sustainable materials usage, considerations of materials life-cycles, materials reuse and repurposing, green processing, and energy conservation and generation. Successful corporations practice systems-level thinking, and materials researchers can benefit from incorporating this point-of-view in the development of their research portfolios, especially as it pertains to sustainability. The planned events include a session of invited talks by corporate social responsibility officers to be embedded in an existing Materials as Tools for Sustainability symposium, a poster competition for the MRS University Chapters (Sustainability@My School), a keynote presentation by a materials/sustainability-innovator in the Technology Innovation Forum, a preview of the new STEM course "Impact of Materials on Society," a Corporate Sustainability Roundtable, a preview of Strange Matter Green Earth museum exhibition under development by the MRS, a dynamic floor session on interacting with the public, and networking events to start and end the program.

由材料研究学会 (MRS) 创建并得到材料研究部支持的为期一天的非技术性聚焦可持续发展活动计划，旨在提高人们对在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的 2014 年 MRS 秋季会议和展览的认识材料、材料研究和可持续实践之间的联系。该计划将为不同的利益相关者群体创造机会，以各种方式进行互动，以建立一个实践社区，激发针对可持续性和材料所发挥的关键作用的研究和教育的行动，并加强对研究和教育的参与。 计划的活动包括由企业社会责任官员邀请的演讲，嵌入现有的材料作为可持续发展工具研讨会、MRS 大学分会 (Sustainability@MySchool) 的海报竞赛、材料/可持续发展组织的主题演讲技术创新论坛的创新者、新 STEM 课程“材料对社会的影响”的预览、企业可持续发展圆桌会议、正在开发的奇异物质绿色地球博物馆展览预览MRS，一个关于与公众互动的动态会议，以及启动和结束该计划的网络活动。技术由材料研究部支持的材料研究协会 (MRS) 可持续发展重点活动将于 2014 年拉开序幕MRS 秋季会议和展览于 11 月 30 日星期日举行，一直持续到 12 月 1 日星期一。该计划的核心战略是企业社会责任领导人的参与。重要的是将该企业集团与材料研究界联系起来，以促进新的协同作用，推动支持可持续材料使用、考虑材料生命周期、材料再利用和再利用、绿色加工以及节能和发电的研究。成功的企业实践系统级思维，材料研究人员可以从将这种观点纳入其研究组合的开发中受益，尤其是与可持续性相关的研究。计划的活动包括由企业社会责任官员邀请的演讲，这些演讲将嵌入现有的“材料作为可持续发展工具”研讨会、MRS 大学分会 (Sustainability@My School) 的海报竞赛、材料/可持续发展的主题演讲-技术创新论坛的创新者、新 STEM 课程“材料对社会的影响”的预览、企业可持续发展圆桌会议、正在开发的奇异物质绿色地球博物馆展览的预览MRS，一个关于与公众互动的动态会议，以及启动和结束该计划的社交活动。
