The significance of this conference is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of the latest research in emerging energy topics and the teaching and learning of energy. This award will support participation of a diverse group of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and early career investigators to attend the 2018 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and the preceding Gordon Research Symposium (GRS) in Physics Research and Education. The teaching of energy is considered by physicists to be an important core concept to understand the material world, and by inviting cutting-edge scientists to speak on topics in energy research -- from energy harvesting to energy flow modeling -- transformative topics in energy research are made available for use as application examples in the teaching of undergraduate physics students and the general public. Within the theme of "Energy as a Subtle Concept", workshop topics are broken into fundamental and contemporary groups and each session is represented by both a physics education and scientific researcher. The conference goals are as follows: a) introduce participants to cutting edge research in the field of physics and education related to the theme of energy, b) foster knowledge of new methods of energy research and pedagogical research on energy in order to provide new models for use in teaching by conference participants, c) encourage discussions and potential collaborations between conference participants in order to broaden the energy ecosystem to include scientists, educational researchers, and instructors, d) provide mentorship opportunities for conference participants, and e) create a community of practice around the teaching and learning about energy. The conference will be preceded by a two-day Gordon Research Symposium entirely planned and executed by a group of post-docs and graduate students who are rising leaders in energy related research.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.

这次会议的意义是为介绍和讨论新兴能源主题以及能源教学的最新研究提供论坛。该奖项将支持各种各样的研究生，博士后研究人员和早期职业研究人员参加2018年戈登研究会议（GRC）和先前的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）物理研究和教育。 物理学家认为能量教学是了解物质世界的重要核心概念，并邀请尖端的科学家谈论能源研究的主题 - 从能量收获到能量流建模 - 能源研究中的变革性主题可以用作本科生和公众的教学中的申请示例。在“能源作为一个微妙的概念”的主题中，研讨会主题被分为基本和当代群体，每个会议都由物理教育和科学研究人员代表。会议目标如下：a）向参与者介绍与能源主题相关的物理和教育领域的尖端研究，b）培养能源研究的新方法和能源的教学方法，以提供新的模型对于会议参与者的教学，c）鼓励会议参与者之间的讨论和潜在的合作，以扩大能量生态系统，包括科学家，教育研究人员和讲师，d）为会议参与者提供指导机会，并创建社区）围绕教学和学习能量的实践。 会议将在为期两天的戈登研究研讨会之前，完全由一群培训后和研究生进行了计划和执行。使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准进行评估。
