项目摘要

The 1st US-North Africa conference on Nanotechnology Convergence for Sustainable Energy, Health, and Environment will take place in Cairo, Egypt from August 9th through August 14th, 2020 at the Grand Nile Tower Hotel. The main goal of this conference is to advance the interdisciplinary research in science and engineering by showcasing and highlighting new ideas to improve, and revolutionize, science, engineering and technology in the United States. Areas of focus include quantum information technology, nanomedicine, energy harvesting, and environmental science. The result of this conference will be the stimulation of international research collaborations between US and North Africa which will advance scientific research and education. Through this conference, U.S. students will learn about opportunities to engage in international research projects, which will be established through the networking events of researchers at the conference. In addition, the conference will promote cultural diversity and broaden participation within science and engineering fields. The conference will provide a great opportunity for discussion between researchers (including undergrad-graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty from the US and North Africa, setting up a concrete foundation on which to initiate research collaborations. Egypt is one of the major North African countries engaged in the convergence of nanotechnology in energy, health and environment and the conference will be hosted by the Academy of scientific research and technology (ASRT), Egypt. In addition, the co-chairs will invite the keynote speakers to publish their unique research in the Journal of Nanoparticle Research and the invitation will be opened for the development of a special journal l issue to include all innovative and transformative research from attendees. The successful outcome of this conference will be the development of solid US-NA research collaborations that can serve to promote science and engineering research and education in both regions.The 1st US-North Africa conference on Nanotechnology Convergence for Sustainable Energy, Health, and Environment will take place in Cairo, Egypt from August 9th through August 14th, 2020 at the Grand Nile Tower Hotel. The conference will highlight state-of-the-art research, recent achievements and global trends in nanotechnology in the US and North Africa using 1) a transdisciplinary integration of presentations on fundamental science, engineering, industrial and medical applications that address global challenges in sustainable energy, environment and health and 2) stimulation and facilitation of research collaborations among participants. The conference’ sessions will include important research topics such as quantum computing, energy harvesting, environmental applications, drug delivery, diagnoses and cancer treatment. The conference will feature daily open discussions among attendees through short group meetings which will includes students, postdocs, and keynote speakers to foster an environment of collegiality and collaboration. The conference will also include three breakout sessions in energy, health and environment during which a list of research challenges in each of these areas will be developed. Within these topical challenges, potential international research collaboration opportunities will be identified. Towards the fulfillment of this aim, a listing of participants, research areas and contact information will be created after the conference and distributed to attendees. The conference will discuss the emerging, current fundamental concepts and practices that describe: 1) synthesis of novel functional nanomaterials for energy storage and conversion devices, 2) Quantum molecular nanomagnets for new generation of quantum computing, 3) Environmental application of nanomaterials such as water treatment, crop protection, and climate change, and 4) Nano-Biomaterials and their applications for drug delivery, diagnosis, and cancer therapy. In addition, the co-chairs will invite the keynote speakers to publish their unique research in the Journal of Nanoparticle Research and the invitation will be opened for the development of a special journal l issue to include all innovative and transformative research from attendees. The successful outcome of this conference will be the development of solid US-NA research collaborations that can serve to promote science and engineering research and education in both regions.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.

第一届美国北非洲纳米技术会议的可持续能源，健康和环境会议将于8月9日至2020年8月14日在埃及开罗举行。这次会议的主要目的是通过展示和强调美国改善和彻底改变美国，科学，工程和技术的新想法来推进科学和工程学的跨学科研究。重点领域包括量子信息技术，纳米医学，能量收集和环境科学。这次会议的结果将是刺激我们与北非之间的国际研究合作，这将推动科学研究和教育。通过这次会议，美国学生将了解参与国际研究项目的机会，这些项目将通过会议上的研究人员的网络活动来建立。此外，会议将促进文化多样性，并扩大科学和工程领域的参与。这次会议将为研究人员之间的讨论提供一个很好的机会（包括本科生，博士后研究员以及来自美国和北非的教职员工，建立了一个具体的基础，以启动研究合作。埃及是北非主要国家之一，从事能源，健康和环境方面的融合，是由纳米技术的融合。此外，埃及将邀请主题演讲者在《纳米颗粒研究》杂志上发表其独特的研究，并将邀请函开放，以开发特殊的期刊，包括所有创新和变革性的研究。纳米技术的可持续能源，健康和环境融合将于8月9日至2020年8月14日在埃及开罗举行。该会议将强调美国和北非的最新研究，最新成就和纳米技术的全球趋势，使用1）关于基础科学，工程，工程，工业和医学应用的跨学科整合，以解决全球在可持续能源，环境，环境和健康方面的全球挑战，以及参与者之间的研究协作的刺激和研究。会议的会议将包括重要的研究主题，例如量子计算，能量收集，环境应用，药物输送，诊断和癌症治疗。该会议将通过简短的小组会议每天进行与与会者之间的公开讨论，其中包括学生，博士后和主题演讲者，以培养合作与协作的环境。该会议还将包括三场能源，健康和环境中的突破性会议，在此期间将开发这些领域的研究挑战清单。在这些局部挑战中，将确定潜在的国际研究合作机会。为了实现这一目标，将在会议之后创建参与者，研究领域和联系信息的列表，并分发给与会者。 The conference will discuss the emerging, current fundamental concepts and practices that describe: 1) synthesis of novel functional nanomaterials for energy storage and conversion devices, 2) Quantum molecular nanomagnets for new generation of quantum computing, 3) Environmental application of nanomaterials such as water treatment, crop protection, and climate change, and 4) Nano-Biomaterials and their applications for drug delivery, diagnostics, and cancer 治疗。此外，联合主席将邀请主题演讲者在《纳米颗粒研究杂志》中发表其独特的研究，并将为开发特殊期刊l问题开放邀请，以包括与会者的所有创新和变革性研究。这次会议的成功结果将是开发可靠的US-NA研究合作，可以在两个地区促进科学和工程研究和教育。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是宝贵的支持。
