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.

这笔会议拨款用于部分支持美国学生和早期职业研究人员参加将于 6 月 12 日至 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)。该会议将涵盖一系列内容。 ISSST 会议框架讨论了评估和管理产品和服务整个生命周期的问题，以及可持续工程系统和技术的设计、管理和政策影响，通过跨学科的方法来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对于针对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) 交叉点。农业生态学和工业生态学；(2) 综合人类物理系统；(3) 能源和基础设施系统的可持续性和/或弹性；(5) 可持续发展相关的其他主题——新方法和想法会议还将举办特别会议，让参与者聚集在一起进行教育会议、研讨会、交流和专业技能发展。会议的目的是通过建立其跨学科框架来最大限度地发挥影响力。会议将强调技术系统的社会维度和拟议的工程解决方案，社会公平、差异性访问和影响以及环境正义将在所有五个主题中占据突出地位。预计还有几场会议将讨论新出现的问题不同的成员群体将通过论文和海报展示以及正式和非正式讨论分享他们在可持续科学和工程方面的工作，包括 Braden Allenby 博士、亚利桑那州立大学的总统教授兼林肯工程与伦理学教授和爱荷华州立大学的麦克阿瑟研究员丽莎·舒尔特·摩尔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全面获得可持续发展研究经验的机会。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
