Symposium EE, "Self-Organization and Nanoscale Pattern Formation", will be held at the 2011 MRS Fall meeting in Boston. It will bring together a large community of researchers who utilize self-organization and self-assembly to synthesize and functionalize nanostructured materials. The symposium will cover a broad spectrum of materials, from polymeric and supra-molecular systems, to semiconductors, oxides, and metals, and a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from photonics and plasmonics, to gas sensors, catalytic materials, and materials subjected to irradiation or plastic deformation. The underlying principles responsible for self-organization are often similar in these situations, so the symposium will provide opportunities for researchers from one particular area to learn and potentially transfer recent knowledge gained in other areas. The requested support will be used to facilitate the participation of graduate students, female researchers, and researchers from underrepresented minorities. The high cost of attending the symposium can prevent some graduate students to attend, present their research results and inhibit exposure to the state-of-the-art research and acquiring direct feedback on their research from senior researchers. Offering a partial support to offset registration fees and traveling costs provides an effective means to ensure a broad participation from graduate students. The field of self-organization and self-assembly for the synthesis and investigation of nanostructures is extremely active and diverse, and attendance at this symposium is expected to have beneficial impacts on the careers of these researchers.

研讨会EE，“自组织和纳米尺度模式的形成”，将在2011年秋季在波士顿举行的会议上举行。它将聚集一大群研究人员，他们利用自组织和自组装来合成纳米结构材料并使其功能化。研讨会将涉及广泛的材料，从聚合物和超分子系统，到半导体，氧化物和金属，以及广泛的应用，从光子学和等离子体，到气体传感器，催化材料，以及受辐射或塑性变形的材料。在这些情况下，负责自我组织的基本原则往往是相似的，因此，专题讨论会将为来自一个特定领域的研究人员提供机会，学习并有可能转移在其他领域获得的最新知识。所请求的支持将用于促进研究生、女性研究人员和来自代表性不足的少数群体的研究人员的参与。参加研讨会的高昂费用可能会阻止一些研究生出席，展示他们的研究成果，并阻碍他们接触最先进的研究，并从资深研究人员那里获得对他们的研究的直接反馈。提供部分资助以抵消注册费和旅费，是确保研究生广泛参与的有效手段。用于合成和研究纳米结构的自组织和自组装领域非常活跃和多样化，出席这次研讨会预计将对这些研究人员的职业生涯产生有益的影响。
