The National Science Foundation's Nanoscale Science and Engineering Grantees Conference: Progress in Nanotechnology will be held December 12-13, 2017 in Arlington, Virginia. Now in its seventeenth year, the conference is held annually to highlight the research and education activities of currently-funded projects. The conference brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners from academic, industry, and government sectors to share progress, discuss challenges, and explore new opportunities for collaboration. This year's conference focuses on foundational nanotechnology and infrastructure, grand challenges, and convergence of disciplines in nanomanufacturing. In addition to keynote presentations on these topics, the conference features panel discussions expanding on the main topics, poster sessions presenting current research, and multiple networking opportunities. The conference supports dissemination of grant-funded research results and fosters ideation of new avenues of exploration, promoting advances in many disciplines including public health and medicine, environmental science, cybersecurity, materials, and manufacturing. Nanotechnology as a component of improving the public perception of science and nanotechnology education is also a component of the workshop. The conference also affords NSF program directors opportunities for discussions with principal investigators.Day 1 of the conference includes keynotes and panel discussions on Progress in Foundational Nanotechnology and Infrastructure. The agenda includes nanoscale modeling/simulation and use of big data, nanotechnology-based devices and systems by design, and two-dimensional materials and quantum phenomena in nanoscales systems, along with updates from nano-centers. The Day 2 agenda focuses on Progress in Grand Challenges and Convergence, with invited speakers and panelists presenting on manufacturing networks and nanotechnology, advanced nano-biomanufacturing convergence across disciplines, and brain-like cognitive systems. Panelists with expertise in brain-inspired computing hardware architecture and brain-machine interfaces, and nano device re-creation of neural and synaptic functions will discuss how nanotechnology contributes to brain-like computing and share visionary ideas for the next twenty years. A working lunch on best practices when portraying nanotechnology research and development in video and on the web is a highlight. The conference closes with educational and societal aspects of nanotechnology, with panel discussions on nanotechnology immersion in the public perception of science, societal aspects of nanotechnology and converging technologies, and convergence in education.

国家科学基金会的纳米科学与工程资助会议：在纳米技术的进展将于2017年12月12日至13日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。 该会议每年举行一次，以突出目前资助项目的研究和教育活动。会议汇集了来自学术界，工业界和政府部门的研究人员，教育工作者和从业人员，分享进展，讨论挑战，并探索新的合作机会。 今年的会议侧重于基础纳米技术和基础设施，重大挑战和纳米制造学科的融合。 除了关于这些主题的主题演讲外，会议还包括扩大主要主题的小组讨论，展示当前研究的海报会议以及多种网络机会。 该会议支持传播赠款资助的研究成果，并促进探索新途径的构想，促进包括公共卫生和医学，环境科学，网络安全，材料和制造在内的许多学科的进步。 纳米技术作为提高公众对科学和纳米技术教育的认识的一个组成部分也是讲习班的一个组成部分。会议还为NSF项目主任提供了与主要研究人员讨论的机会。会议的第一天包括基础纳米技术和基础设施进展的主题演讲和小组讨论。 议程包括纳米级建模/模拟和大数据的使用，纳米技术为基础的设备和系统的设计，和二维材料和纳米系统中的量子现象，沿着从纳米中心更新。 第二天的议程重点是大挑战和融合的进展，特邀演讲者和小组成员介绍了制造网络和纳米技术，跨学科的先进纳米生物制造融合以及类脑认知系统。 具有脑启发计算硬件架构和脑机接口以及神经和突触功能的纳米设备重建专业知识的小组成员将讨论纳米技术如何有助于类脑计算并分享未来二十年的有远见的想法。 在视频和网络上描述纳米技术研究和开发时的最佳做法工作午餐是一个亮点。 会议结束与纳米技术的教育和社会方面，与小组讨论纳米技术沉浸在公众对科学的看法，纳米技术和融合技术的社会方面，并融合在教育。
