PI: Ranville, KamesProposal #: 1631858Nanotechnology holds great promise to benefit society by creating materials with novel properties and functions. The technological developments in the application of nanotechnology must be accompanied by careful examination of possible unwanted environmental consequences. This conference provides a venue for presentation of the latest research on nanotechnology and its potential impact on the environment. Feedback and discussion at this conference will provide ideas for refinement of experiments and future work on nanotechnology in natural systems. This will help advance this field to better manage potential environmental risks associated with nanotechnology.It is anticipated that 250 participants from industry, government, academia, and non-governmental organizations will participate. The participants will include a large percentage of junior scholars (Ph.D. students and postdocs), with all students receiving partial travel support to encourage their participation. Invited speakers have largely been selected from amongst young researchers who are less than 10-years post-graduation. The conference will thus provide networking opportunities for scientists at different career stages. It is expected that collaborations across networks (SUN, LCnano, CEINT, etc) will result from discussions at this conference. A preconference workshop will train a small group of participants in novel characterization tools for nanoparticles. Overall this gathering will stimulate interactions that will push nanoscience research forward in the critical area of environmental health and safety (EHS).The conference will attract the leading scientists and engineers whose focus is on the EHS aspects of nanomaterials. A public outreach program is planned for Wednesday afternoon of the meeting and will allow for interactions between research scientists and middle school science teachers and students. We expect to produce educational materials that will then be used in future local K-12 programs. The proposed three and half day schedule will include a number of open discussions that will foster interactions between young investigators and more established researchers. Participants of the ICEENN will come from not only the U.S. but around the globe, ensuring a diverse and international expert group to facilitate productive discussions.

PI：Ranville，Kames提案编号：1631858纳米技术通过创造具有新特性和功能的材料，为社会带来了巨大的希望。 在应用纳米技术的技术发展的同时，必须仔细审查可能出现的有害环境后果。 本次会议提供了一个场所，介绍纳米技术的最新研究及其对环境的潜在影响。本次会议的反馈和讨论将为自然系统中纳米技术的实验和未来工作的改进提供思路。这将有助于推进这一领域，以更好地管理与纳米技术相关的潜在环境风险。预计将有来自工业界、政府、学术界和非政府组织的250名与会者参加。与会者将包括大部分初级学者（博士）。学生和博士后），所有学生都获得部分旅行支持，以鼓励他们参与。受邀演讲者主要是从毕业后不到10年的年轻研究人员中挑选出来的。 因此，会议将为处于不同职业阶段的科学家提供建立联系的机会。预计跨网络（SUN，LCnano，CEINT等）的合作将通过本次会议的讨论产生。 一个会前研讨会将培训一小群参与者在新的表征工具的纳米粒子。 总的来说，这次会议将促进相互作用，推动纳米科学研究在环境健康和安全（EHS）的关键领域向前发展。会议将吸引主要科学家和工程师，他们的重点是纳米材料的EHS方面。 一个公共宣传计划计划在周三下午的会议，并将允许研究科学家和中学科学教师和学生之间的互动。 我们希望制作教育材料，然后将用于未来的地方K-12计划。拟议的三天半时间表将包括一些公开讨论，这将促进年轻研究人员和更成熟的研究人员之间的互动。ICEENN的参与者不仅来自美国，而且来自地球仪，确保了一个多元化的国际专家组，以促进富有成效的讨论。
