Forum on "From Scientific Discovery to the Nanotechnology of Tomorrow" in Santa Clara, California

为1998年11月13日在圣克拉拉(加利福尼亚州)举行的“从科学发现到明天的纳米技术”论坛的演讲者提供差旅和会议支持。该论坛是与1998年第六届分子纳米技术展望会议联合举办的。论坛讨论了当前纳米技术发展的下列关键问题：基础研究和技术之间的相互依存和协同作用，从发现到应用的途径，以及促进和最好地利用纳米技术进步的方法。演讲者是工业界、学术界和政府的领袖。来自柯达、摩托罗拉、国防部、NASA、NNUN以及东京大学、普林斯顿大学和Max-Plank研究所的代表将做出贡献。据估计，大约有250名来自美国和海外的参与者。该论坛旨在确定和鼓励最好的方法，将基础发现从实验室应用到工业和健康应用。将编写一份载有扩展摘要的小册子，以便在会议上分发。

Travel and conference support for the speakers at the Forum "From Scientific Discovery to Nanotechnology of Tomorrow" in Santa Clara (CA), November 13, 1998, is provided. This Forum is organized in conjunction with the 1998 Sixth Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology. The Forum addresses the following critical issues for the current development of nanotechnology: interdependence and synergism between fundamental research and technology, the path from discovery to applications, and ways to facilitate and best utilize advances in nanotechnology. The speakers are leaders in industry, academe and government. Representatives from Kodak, Motorola, DOD, NASA, NNUN, as well as University of Tokyo, Princeton University, and Max-Plank Institute will contribute. About 250 participants from US and abroad are estimated. This Forum aims to identify and stimulate the best approached to move fundamental discoveries from laboratory to industrial and health applications. A brochure with the extended abstracts will be prepared for distribution at the meeting.
