NanoForum US-CH 2003 US-Swiss-Forum on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology: With a focus on Nanomechanics and Single Molecule Research

抽象的。2003年10月13日至15日，美国-瑞士2003年：纳米力学及其应用和单分子研究论坛，与瑞士国家科学基金会合作举办的一系列论坛中的第三个，拟在瑞士巴塞尔大学校园举行。该论坛将集中讨论纳米科学在材料力学和单分子研究中的作用。该论坛将汇集来自美国和瑞士在纳米力学和单分子研究领域工作的领先科学家。鼓励年轻的研究人员（博士后研究助理和助理教授）参加这次特殊会议。会议的形式将包括纳米力学和单分子研究领域的领先科学家的讲座，以及美国和瑞士研究小组正在进行的研究的海报。将安排与会者进行即兴讨论，并提供建立新的合作网络的机会。罗德尼·S美国西北大学NUBIMat中心教授兼主任Ruoff是此次会议的组织者。巴塞尔大学制药技术教授、瑞士工程科学院副院长Hans Leuenberger代表瑞士代表团出席。所有瑞士参与者都将得到SNF计划资金的支持。

Abstract. The US-Swiss 2003: Nano Mechanics and its Application and Single Molecule Research Forum, third in a series of collaborative forums with the Swiss National Science Foundation, is proposed to be held on the campus of the University Basel in Switzerland from the 13th to the 15th of October, 2003. This Forum focuses on the role of nanoscience in mechanics of materials and in single molecule studies.The Forum will bring together leading scientists from the US and Switzerland who are working in the fields of nanomechanics and single molecule research. Younger researchers (postdoctoral research associates and assistant professors) have been encouraged to attend this exceptional meeting. The format of the meeting will include lectures by leading scientists in the areas of nanomechanics and single molecule research and posters covering on-going research from both US and Swiss research groups. Arrangements for impromptu discussions among participants and opportunities for forming new collaborative networks will be provided. Rodney S. Ruoff, Professor and Director, NU BIMat Center, Northwestern University, is the US organizer. Hans Leuenberger, Professor of Pharmaceutical Technology, University of Basel, and Vice President of the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences, is representing the Swiss contingent. All Swiss participants will be supported by SNF program funds.
