Conference: 63rd International Conference on Electron, Ion, and Photon Beam Technologies and Nanofabrication (EIPBN); Minneapolis, Minnesota; May 28-31, 2019

该奖项是为了部分支持将于2019年5月28日至31日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行的电子、离子和光子束技术与纳米制造国际会议（EIPBN）。会议包括在纳米制造和纳米制造领域的国际参与者、学者、行业领袖和政府利益相关者之间的演讲、思想交流和扩展的讨论和互动。该论坛有助于在纳米技术和先进制造的许多科学领域产生和孵化突破性和变革性的想法。该奖项支持研究生、博士后研究员和早期职业教师的参与。妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生是参加和参与会议活动的目标。所申请的NSF资金将为大约36名学生的出席提供支持。这次国际会议是将基础科学与工程联系起来，开发有用的纳米产品的关键机制，这将使美国经济和社会受益。EIPBN是一个重要的国际会议，它为讨论小尺度或纳米尺度结构，多层器件和集成多尺度系统的合成，制造，制造，成像，测量和表征的最新发展提供了一个单一的论坛。先进纳米制造领域的主要研究人员、开发人员和用户的定期会议对于交流思想、信息和知识是必要的，以实现和加速纳米制造和纳米制造的进步和突破。本次会议为公开交流新的和以前未发表的科学研究和思想提供了一个平台。它通过演讲、讲座、短期课程和其他面向学生的活动来促进教育和劳动力的发展。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is for the partial support of the International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication (EIPBN) to be held May 28-31, 2019, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The conference includes presentations, exchange of ideas, and extended discussions and interactions among international participants, academics, industry leaders and government stakeholders in the areas of nanofabrication and nanomanufacturing. This forum is instrumental in the generation and incubation of breakthrough and transformative ideas in many scientific areas in nanotechnology and advanced manufacturing. This award supports the participation of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty members. Women and under-represented minority students are targeted to attend and participate in the conference activities. The requested NSF funds provide support for the attendance of about 36 students. This international conference is a key mechanism for linking basic science with engineering towards the development of useful nano-enabled products, which benefit the US economy and society.EIPBN is a major international conference, which provides a single forum for discussion of the latest developments in the synthesis, fabrication, manufacturing, imaging, measurement and characterization of small-scale or nano-scale structures, multi-layered devices and integrated multi-scale systems. Regular meetings of the key researchers, developers and users in the advanced nano manufacturing field are necessary for the exchange of ideas, information, and knowledge to enable and accelerate advances and breakthroughs in nanofabrication and nanomanufacturing. This conference offers a platform for the open exchange of new and previously unpublished scientific research and ideas. It fosters education and workforce development through presentations, lectures, short courses, and other student-oriented activities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
