NSF Food, Energy,
and Water (FEW) Nexus Workshop
A multi-disciplinary workshop
sponsored by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Georgia Tech,
the Ohio State
University and industry partners
Seeking workshop applications from science and technology
experts in:
- Food sanitation
- Waste reduction
- Multi-scale process modeling
and design
- Socioeconomic behavioral
analysis to mitigate barriers to technology adoption
Date: February 22-24, 2016
Location: Nebraska Innovation Campus at
the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska.
Applying for the Workshop
Space for the workshop is limited to 50 participants. To apply for one of
these spots, submit a single document containing a two-page NSF biosketch
of the lead PI and a one-page
position paper addressing one or more of the topics listed
below:
- Novel sanitation technologies
that can make a transformational change in the food industry (similar to
how cleaning-in-place technologies transformed the food industry five
decades ago).
- Innovative waste reduction
technologies that improve efficiency in resource utilization and produce
value-added products and/or changes in upstream and downstream processes
that are required to make transformational changes at the FEW nexus.
- Multi-scale process modeling
efforts that can be used to design green processes and products
throughout the food processing spectrum.
- Mitigating socioeconomic and
behavioral challenges in adopting new technologies.
Applications must be submitted by January 21, 2016
