This proposal is to secure support for a first workshop between scientist and researchersfrom the United States and Ireland in the area of nanotechnology. This symposium is tobe held in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Oct 23 and 24. It will help strengthen alreadydeveloping ties between researchers in the US and Ireland in nanotechnology, and willalso be of great significance in involving joint participation from both the Republic ofIreland and Northern Ireland (the "Two Irelands"). The symposium will consist of: (i)Overview presentations by participants from US and Ireland on topics that define thecurrent forefronts in four selected sub-fields of nanoscience and technology where thereis substantial activity in both the US and the Two Irelands (Spintronics andNanomagnetics; Computational Nanoscience; Self Assembly Mechanisms; and Nano-BioInterfaces); (ii) Poster sessions that highlight the work of leading younger scientistsfrom the US and a broad community of scientist from the Two Irelands. (iii) Significanttime set aside for informal technical discussion and relationship building. (iv) Astructured planning session, where plans for specific collaborations will be developed.The major objective of the forum is to develop an agenda for possible future collaborativeresearch and educational exchange between the three nations in this field.

这项提议是为了确保美国和爱尔兰的科学家和研究人员在纳米技术领域的第一次研讨会得到支持。本次研讨会将于10月23日至24日在北爱尔兰贝尔法斯特举行。它将有助于加强美国和爱尔兰的研究人员在纳米技术方面已经发展起来的联系，并且在涉及爱尔兰共和国和北爱尔兰（“两个爱尔兰”）的联合参与方面也将具有重要意义。研讨会将包括：(i)由来自美国和爱尔兰的参与者就四个选定的纳米科学和技术子领域（自旋电子学和纳米磁学、计算纳米科学、自组装机制和纳米生物界面）中定义当前前沿的主题进行概述报告；（ii）海报会议，突出来自美国的年轻科学家和来自两个爱尔兰的广泛科学家社区的工作。（iii）留出大量时间进行非正式技术讨论和建立关系。有组织的规划会议，将制定具体合作计划。论坛的主要目标是为三国在这一领域的未来合作研究和教育交流制定议程。
