Workshop for Nanotechnology Networking and International Collaboration; Yokohama, Japan; October 11-12,2003

2003年10月在日本横滨举行的第八届先进材料国际会议期间，正在举办为期两天的纳米技术联网和国际合作机会讲习班。这次研讨会将有来自世界各地的材料研究人员和教育工作者参加，是一系列关注扩展成果--创建全球纳米技术网络--的第二个研讨会。该系列的第一期讲习班于2001年在墨西哥坎昆举行的第七届国际航空运输协会会议上举行。全球纳米技术网络在真实空间定期运作，并在网络空间持续运作，将加强纳米技术研究和教育方面的全球合作。拟议的研讨会将促进美国与亚太地区国家在材料研究方面的合作活动的发展。

A two-day workshop on nanotechnology networking and international cooperation opportunities is being held at the 8th International Conference on Advanced Materials (ICAM) in Yokohama, Japan, in October 2003. The workshop, which will host materials researchers and educators from all over the world, is the second of a series that focuses on an extended outcome, the creation of a Global Nanotechnology Network. The first workshop in the series was held at the 7th ICAM in Cancun, Mexico, in 2001. The Global Nanotechnology Network, operating at regular intervals in real space and continuously in cyberspace, will enhance global collaboration in nanotechnology research and education. The proposed workshop will facilitate the development of cooperative activities in materials research between the US and countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
