U.S.-Taiwan Workshop on Nanotechnology

美台纳米技术研讨会研讨会将于2003年11月6日至9日在台湾台南国立成功大学举行。这次工作坊的目的是(A)汇聚美国和台湾纳米技术领域的顶尖专家，讨论研究进展和他们的未来前景；(B)作为纳米技术领域的国际合作和伙伴关系的催化剂；以及(C)参观台湾的纳米技术研发和创业基础设施。本次研讨会的技术方案是重点关注与纳米复合材料、纳米机械和纳米生物学相关的领域。这些领域将涉及将量子/纳米现象与微观/宏观特征联系起来的基本理论，纳米/微观尺度的制造科学，以及生物分子机制的特征。研讨会议程将包括美国和台湾的大型研究计划/计划的概述。将就通过台湾和美国的研究人员通过学术机构促进双边合作的机制开展讨论。这项合作旨在从两国之间的单个研究团队开始。将为与会者组织一次技术之旅，见证联邦援助工业园发展的成功故事。具体地说，正在组织台湾生物技术研究中心台南科学工业园的参观。。据信，这次研讨会的直接影响将：(A)加速纳米技术新成果的异化；(B)建立伙伴关系，促进国际合作和创业精神。

U.S.-TAIWAN WORKSHOP ON NANOTECHNOLOGYABSTRACTThis workshop is to take place at National Cheng-Kung University at Tainan, Taiwan during November 6 to 9, 2003. The objectives of this workshop are (a) to bring together leading experts in nanotechnology in United States and Taiwan to discuss research progress and their future perspectives, (b) to serve as the catalyst for international collaboration and partnership in the areas nanotechnology, and (c) to tour Taiwan's R&D and entrepreneurship infrastructure in nanotechnology. The technical program of this workshop is to focus on the areas related to nanocomposites, nanomechanics, and nano-biology. These areas will address the fundamental theories relating quantum/nano phenomena to micro/macro characteristics, the manufacturing science at nano/micro scale, and the characteristics of bio-molecular mechanisms. An overview on the large research initiatives/programs at U.S. and Taiwan will be included in the workshop agenda. A discussion session regarding the mechanisms to promote bi-lateral collaboration through academic institutions between researchers in Taiwan and the United States will be developed. The collaboration is intended to begin at individual research teams between two countries. A technical tour will be organized for the participants to witness the success stories of the development of federally-assisted industrial parks. Specifically, a tour to the Tainan Science Based Industrial Park, the center of bio-technology research in Taiwan, is being organized. . It is believed that the immediate impact of this workshop will (a) accelerate dissimilation of emerging results on nanotechnology and (b) build partnership toward international collaboration and entrepreneurship.
