The goal of this workshop is to bring together American and Turkish Scientists/Technologists/Academicians, who work in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology areas for the ultimate purpose of preparing joint research projects on various aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology and to start collaborative research programs. The Workshop will be organized and managed by Prof. E. Sancaktar in collaboration with his Turkish counterpart, Prof.H. Unlu, Chair of the Physics Department at Istanbul Technical University (ITU). The Workshop will be held concurrently with NanoTR 4 ((http://www.nanotr4.itu.edu.tr/) scheduled for June 9-13, 2008, in Istanbul, Turkey, at the campus of ITU. This Workshop will be useful to both the U.S. and Turkey, as it will allow American scientists/Technologists/Academicians to interact with their regional counterparts from Turkey, as well as those from other countries, including Canada, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands and the U.K., to increase their awareness on nanoscientific and nanotechnological activities in the U.S., and Turkey, as well as different countries around the world, and to encourage collaboration in these areas. The American attendees will have an excellent opportunity to accomplish the goals of the Workshop with the ability to interact with a large number of internationally renowned scientists/technologists. Thus, these interactions will constitute the yearly phases of developing and coordinating research and education activities with foreign partner(s) (NSF). The American attendees of the Workshop areacademicians (13) and graduate students (5) representing 13 Universities from 10 different states, as well as 2 scientists from U.S. Federal research organizations. The participating academicians hold ranks varying from assistant professor to distinguished professor. These prospective participants were invited pursuant to nomination by their peers from the U.S, as well as by theScientific Advisory Board and the Organizing Committee of NanoTR 4.The intellectual merits of this proposal reside in the originality of the research to be presented by 14 prominent American researchers (Drs. I. Aksay, A. Erdemir, B. Hinds, N. Horing, J. Irudayaraj, A. Isayev, L. Jia, A. Madakannan, R. Martini, H. Onyuksel, J. Rogers, J. Ross, R. Ruoff, E. Sancaktar, T. Yildirim), as well as 5 promising American doctoral students (T. Lewis, T. McNeish, M. Saunders, M. Wadley, J. Weatherall), two of whom from the African-American minority group, and the furthering of these research activities by constructive discussions and possible future collaborations to be established. The topics to be covered and advanced are of vital importance to a wide range of modern technologies in most industries, healthcare, conservation of materials and energy, biology, environment, and education, and thus, will have broad impacts on our society. In this Workshop, we will address fundamental issues with particular emphasis on the nanomaterials solutions to a wide range of problems. The Workshop will bring together researchers from physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering to review the current status, to share new ideas and results to delineate outstanding problems and to guide future research. This Workshop will also have a strong educational andstudent outreach component and will provide opportunities for young investigators to present their research findings and to learn about the most recent developments in this rapidly moving field. This project is jointly funded by CMMI and the Office of International Science and Engineering.

本次研讨会的目标是汇集美国和土耳其的科学家/技术人员/院士，谁在纳米科学和纳米技术领域工作的最终目的是准备在纳米科学和纳米技术的各个方面的联合研究项目，并开始合作研究计划。讲习班将由E. Sancaktar与他的土耳其同行，教授H。伊斯坦布尔技术大学（ITU）物理系主任Unlu说。该讲习班将与定于2008年6月9日至13日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔国际电联总部举行的NanoTR 4（http：//www.nanotr4.itu.edu.tr/）同时举行。这次研讨会将对美国和土耳其都有帮助，因为它将使美国科学家/技术人员/学者与来自土耳其的区域同行以及来自加拿大、德国、爱尔兰、日本、荷兰和英国等其他国家的同行进行互动，提高他们对美国纳米科学和纳米技术活动的认识，和土耳其，以及世界各地的不同国家，并鼓励在这些领域的合作。美国与会者将有一个很好的机会来实现研讨会的目标，并有能力与大量国际知名的科学家/技术专家进行互动。因此，这些互动将构成与外国伙伴开展和协调研究和教育活动的年度阶段（国家科学基金会）。参加研讨会的美国与会者是来自10个不同州的13所大学的院士（13名）和研究生（5名），以及来自美国联邦研究机构的2名科学家。与会院士的级别从助理教授到特聘教授不等。这些潜在的参与者是根据来自美国的同行以及科学顾问委员会和NanoTR 4组织委员会的提名而被邀请的。阿克赛，A. Erdemir，B. Hinds，N. Horing，J. Irudayaraj，A.伊萨耶夫湖Jia，中国茶条A.马达坎南河马提尼，H。Onyuksel，J. Rogers，J. Ross，R. Ruoff，E. Sancaktar，T. Yildirim），以及5个有前途的美国博士生（T。刘易斯，T. McNeish，M.桑德斯，M。瓦德利，J. Weatherall），其中两人来自非洲裔美国少数民族群体，并通过建设性的讨论和未来可能建立的合作进一步推进这些研究活动。所涵盖和推进的主题对大多数行业，医疗保健，材料和能源保护，生物学，环境和教育的广泛现代技术至关重要，因此，将对我们的社会产生广泛的影响。在这次研讨会上，我们将讨论一些基本问题，特别强调纳米材料对一系列问题的解决方案。研讨会将汇集来自物理，化学，材料科学和工程的研究人员，以审查当前的状态，分享新的想法和结果，以确定突出的问题，并指导未来的研究。该讲习班还将有一个强有力的教育和学生外联部分，并将为年轻的研究人员提供机会，介绍他们的研究成果，并了解这一迅速发展的领域的最新发展。 该项目由CMMI和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。
