CBET-0802933, WiesnerThis workshop is proposed to facilitate the interaction of U.S. and European researchers to:1) Review current data on nanoparticle reactivity, exposure and transformations in the environment,2) Review scope of efforts underway to evaluate the effects of these exposures on ecosystems,3) Identify critical data needs and the coverage of on-going studies with the goal of maximizingthe impact of current and future studies and,4) Lay the foundations for continued, collaborative interactions that will take advantageof the resources available in Europe and the US while reducing a duplication of effort and enhancing opportunities for research and international experience for U.S. students.INTELLECTUAL MERITUnderstanding the interactions between engineered nanomaterials, the relative occurrence of these materials in comparison with natural and incidental nano-scale materials as well as the interactions of these materials with organisms is important to ensure that nanotechnology improves material and social conditions without exceeding the ecological capabilities that support them. While the need for research in this area has been recognized in both the US and Europe, coordination between US and European efforts has been limited. Indeed, recent calls for proposals on the part of the NSF, the EPA and the EU have stressed the need for collaboration on this topic. Successful collaboration in this area will require the participation of more junior researchers who may have not yet had the opportunity to build trans-Atlantic collaborations. This workshop will offer both established and junior researchers the opportunity to build international collaborations. The proposed workshop will bring some of the most active researchers on this topic from the US in contact with European counterparts to share information and methods related to nanoparticle behavior in the environment. Co-organized by the EMPA, EAWAG, and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute, the current keynote invitees represent six European countries (UK, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands) and six US universities.BROADER IMPACTSImpacts beyond the scientific merits of the workshop will include the establishment of personal contacts between researchers, an accelerated internationalization of US efforts in this area and the dissemination of information on environmental impacts of nanomaterials. Selection of US participants for the workshop will include a strong consideration of participant diversity and the potential for accelerating collaborations ties that might not otherwise develop.

CBET-0802933，Wiesner该研讨会旨在促进美国和欧洲研究人员的互动，以：1）审查关于纳米颗粒反应性、暴露和环境转化的当前数据，2）审查正在进行的评估这些暴露对生态系统影响的工作范围，3）确定关键数据需求和正在进行的研究的覆盖范围，目标是最大限度地发挥当前和未来研究的影响，4）为继续，协作互动，将利用欧洲和美国的可用资源，同时减少重复工作，为美国学生提供研究和国际经验的机会。智力优势了解工程纳米材料之间的相互作用，这些材料与天然和偶然的纳米材料相比的相对存在，尺度材料以及这些材料与生物体的相互作用对于确保纳米技术在不超过生态能力的情况下改善物质和社会条件是重要的，支持他们。虽然美国和欧洲都认识到这一领域研究的必要性，但美国和欧洲之间的协调工作有限。事实上，最近呼吁NSF、EPA和欧盟提出建议，强调有必要在这一问题上进行合作。这一领域的成功合作将需要更多尚未有机会建立跨大西洋合作的初级研究人员的参与。该研讨会将为资深和初级研究人员提供建立国际合作的机会。拟议的研讨会将使一些最活跃的研究人员从美国与欧洲同行接触，分享有关纳米粒子在环境中的行为的信息和方法。由EMPA，EAWAG和瑞士纳米科学研究所共同组织，目前的主题演讲嘉宾代表六个欧洲国家（英国、法国、瑞士、奥地利、德国和荷兰）和六所美国大学。更广泛的影响超出研讨会科学价值的影响将包括建立研究人员之间的个人联系，美国在这一领域的努力加速国际化，并传播有关纳米材料环境影响的信息。选择美国参与者参加研讨会将包括对参与者多样性的强烈考虑，以及加速合作关系的潜力，否则可能不会发展。
