This grant provides funding to organize the Cretan Workshop on Global Challenges and Future Opportunities for Nanomanufacturing and Nanotechnology in Crete, Greece, on June 29-30, 2011. This workshop has two main objectives. First, to bring together a group of US researchers and their foreign counterparts to identify current challenges, future rewarding research directions, priorities and approaches and to provide opportunities for collaboration on specific fields where advances in nanomanufacturing have the promise for an immense impact, namely: (i) Current Nano Challenges; (ii) Environmental Implications; (iii) Energy Conversion and Storage; (iv) Biotechnology; and (v) Large Scale Nanomanufacturing, Innovation and Commercialization. The second objective is to provide a unique opportunity for several US graduate students to gain international research experience, meet, discuss and present their work via poster presentations, be exposed to an interdisciplinary environment and offer potentially high benefits through collaboration with investigators abroad. The preliminary list of invitees/participants includes world leaders and renowned researchers from the US, Europe, the region (Greece) and around the world who are in the scientific forefront of nanoscience and nanotechnology.This workshop provides an excellent venue and environment for the exchange of ideas and open discussions that allow for the presentation of the researchers? latest work, augmenting efforts to advance the research frontiers in this field via international collaborations. The workshop will provide a significant opportunity for human resource development and graduate education, training and exposure to an interdisciplinary international environment. An elite volume will be compiled in electronic format with all invited presentations and posters presented by the students. In addition, participants can submit manuscripts based on their presentations for consideration for publication to a number of reputable referred journals. Special efforts will be devoted to make the workshop available for underrepresented minorities, women and persons with disabilities. Underrepresented minorities will also be pursued through interaction with the Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers (housed on UTA campus).

这笔赠款提供资金，以组织在克里特岛，希腊，2011年6月29日至30日的纳米制造和纳米技术的全球挑战和未来机遇的研讨会。这次研讨会有两个主要目标。首先，汇集一组美国研究人员和他们的外国同行，以确定当前的挑战，未来有价值的研究方向，优先事项和方法，并提供合作的机会，在特定领域的进步，纳米制造有希望产生巨大的影响，即：（一）当前纳米挑战;（二）环境影响;（三）能源转换和存储;（四）生物技术;（五）生物技术;（六）生物技术;（七）生物技术;（八）生物技术;（八）生物技术;（九）生物技术;以及（v）大规模纳米制造、创新和商业化。 第二个目标是为几个美国研究生提供一个独特的机会，以获得国际研究经验，满足，讨论和通过海报展示他们的工作，接触到跨学科的环境，并通过与国外研究人员合作提供潜在的高收益。受邀者/参与者的初步名单包括来自美国，欧洲，该地区（希腊）和世界各地的世界领导人和著名研究人员，他们处于纳米科学和纳米技术的科学前沿。这个研讨会提供了一个很好的场所和环境，交流思想和开放的讨论，允许研究人员的演讲？最新的工作，通过国际合作加强努力，推进这一领域的研究前沿。 讲习班将为人力资源开发和研究生教育、培训以及接触跨学科国际环境提供重要机会。 一个精英卷将以电子格式与所有邀请的演讲和学生提出的海报汇编。此外，参与者可以根据他们的演讲提交手稿，供考虑发表到一些著名的参考期刊。 将作出特别努力，使代表人数不足的少数群体、妇女和残疾人也能参加讲习班。代表性不足的少数民族也将通过与西班牙裔专业工程师协会（设在UTA校园）的互动来追求。
