The Trans Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Research and Development Interchange on Sustainability (TIPARDIS) is a conference on the dominant challenge facing humanity: sustainability. The conference will be held in India, with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) hosting. Participants will be drawn from the U.S, Europe, India, and perhaps elsewhere. NSF funds will support participation by U.S. researchers. It is expected that the Hungarian Government will provide support for European participants and that sources in India will provide support for researchers in India. At its core, sustainability embodies efforts to find ways that make it possible for humanity to exist in a civilized manner on the Earth for as long as possible. This objective is by itself a formidable challenge given the 7.8 billion human population. But this challenge must be met in the face of emergent threats such as climate change and others. At the local level, these emergent global threats can manifest as major disruption events like floods, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, and economic distress. The conference will focus on the understanding and the formulation of solutions for these very complex and urgent issues guided by five focus questions: 1. Which planetary elements are likely to be manageable in the face of accelerating climate change? 2. Which of these planetary elements is not likely to be manageable in the face of accelerating climate change? 3. Which planetary elements should be managed as technical problems? 4. Which planetary elements should be approached through law and policy? 5. Can Machine Learning and AI help foster sustainability? The body of participants will be balanced to include adequate representation with respect to discipline (engineering, physics, chemistry, economics, policy, etc.), institutions (academic, government, private sector), and regional and national representation. Minorities and women will be encouraged to participate. From the conference, two reports will be produced: (1) a final report summarizing the results and conclusions and the presentations, and (2) a briefer summary focused on policy and suitable for use within the sponsoring organizations. Additionally, a WIKI site has been established and is currently being populated with relevant information as background in preparation for the conference.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.

跨印度，太平洋和大西洋研究与发展的可持续性互动（Tipardis）是人类面临的主要挑战的会议：可持续性。会议将在印度举行，印度孟买理工学院（IIT孟买）举办。参与者将从美国，欧洲，印度以及其他地方吸引。 NSF资金将支持美国研究人员的参与。预计匈牙利政府将为欧洲参与者提供支持，印度的消息来源将为印度的研究人员提供支持。可持续性以此为核心体现了寻找使人类尽可能长时间以文明方式存在的方式的努力。考虑到78亿人口，这个目标本身就是一个巨大的挑战。但是，面对诸如气候变化等新兴威胁，必须应对这一挑战。在地方一级，这些新兴的全球威胁可能表现为重大破坏事件，例如洪水，干旱，热浪，野火和经济困扰。会议将重点关注这些非常复杂和紧迫的问题的理解和解决方案，以五个重点问题为指导：1。面对加速气候变化，哪些行星元素可能是可以管理的？ 2。面对加速气候变化，这些行星元素中的哪一个不可能可管理？ 3。应该将哪些行星元素视为技术问题？ 4。应通过法律和政策来接触哪些行星要素？ 5。机器学习和人工智能可以帮助促进可持续性吗？参与者的机构将保持平衡，以包括有关纪律（工程，物理，化学，经济学，政策等），机构（学术，政府，私营部门）以及地区和国家代表的适当代表。将鼓励少数民族和妇女参加。在会议中将产生两份报告：（1）最终报告总结了结果，结论和演示文稿，以及（2）一个Briefer摘要，重点是政策，适合在赞助组织中使用。此外，已经建立了Wiki网站，目前正在填充相关信息作为会议准备的背景。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
