1712411SpormannThe International Society for Microbial Electrochemistry and Technology (ISMET) was formed in 2011 as a new international umbrella organization (private nonprofit) with the goal to link researchers, engineers, and scientists in the area of microbial electrochemistry and their derived technologies. This conference, was held at Stanford University on October 5-7, 2016 with the objective of linking together an interdisciplinary group of researchers to discuss recent advancements in microbial electrochemistry and technologies. This technology is one of many that is being investigated related to the food-energy-water nexus.The topics that were covered at the North American-International Society for Microbial Electrochemistry and Technology conference was to integrate both fundamental and applied research, and cover topics were in the area of fundamental research: 1. Novel microbial pathways in microbial electrochemistry, 2. Fundamentals of extracellular electron transfer, 3. Synthetic biology approaches to optimize microbial electrochemical systems, and, 4. Microbial ecology of mixed culture systems. In the area of applied research the topics were: 1. Wastewater treatment and other bioremediation/bioenergy/biosensing applications, 2. Materials: electrodes and membranes for microbial electrochemistry and technologies, 3. Design towards applications and scale-up, and, 4. Modeling and optimization. The ISMET promotes the International and Continental meetings occurring every other year on alternating years. However, ISMET does not organize these meetings; the annual meetings are organized at the host level. The interaction among researchers from different fields created a unique environment to foster ideas and future collaborations. At the same time, these ideas could lead to novel technologies that can impact the future infrastructure at the water-energy nexus. The conference also had workshops to educate new researchers in techniques such as molecular biology and mathematical modeling. Through these workshops, the PI expected to train students that will become leaders in our field. The conference also serves to be a springboard for forging the thought processes of researchers from various backgrounds across the globe to enable the success of microbial electrochemical technologies.

1712411Spormann The国际微生物电化学和技术学会（ISMET）于2011年成立，是一个新的国际伞组织（私人非营利组织），其目标是将微生物电化学及其衍生技术领域的研究人员，工程师和科学家联系起来。这次会议于2016年10月5日至7日在斯坦福大学举行，目的是将一个跨学科研究人员联系在一起，讨论微生物电化学和技术的最新进步。这项技术是与食物能 - 水神经有关的许多正在研究的技术之一。优化微生物电化学系统的方法，以及4。混合培养系统的微生物生态学。在应用研究的领域中，主题是：1。废水处理和其他生物修复/生物能源/生物传感应用，2。材料：用于微生物电化学和技术的电极和膜，3。针对应用和扩展的设计，以及4。建模和优化。 ISMET促进每隔一年的国际和大陆会议在交替的几年中举行。但是，Ismet不会组织这些会议。年度会议是在主持人级别组织的。来自不同领域的研究人员之间的互动创造了一个独特的环境，以促进思想和未来的合作。同时，这些想法可能会导致新技术，这些技术可能会影响水能Nexus的未来基础设施。该会议还举办了研讨会，以教育新的研究人员有关分子生物学和数学建模等技术的教育。通过这些研讨会，PI希望培训将成为我们领域的领导者的学生。该会议也是一个跳板，用于锻造来自全球各种背景的研究人员的思维过程，以使微生物电化学技术的成功。
