Conference: Travel Support Grant to attend the Third International Nanotechnology Conference onCommunication and Cooperation. To be held April 16-19, 2007 in Brussels, Belgium.

摘要Sanjay K.Banerjee InC3：会议计划目标：这项建议的目的是向美国国家科学基金会申请旅费，以使来自美国的教师能够参加2007年4月16日至19日在比利时布鲁塞尔举行的第三届国际纳米通信与合作会议(http://www.imec.be/inc3/about.html))。此外，我们计划邀请一些年轻的教职员工，他们将展示突出他们工作的海报。智力优势：这次会议由SRC-SIA、NSF、IMEC、JEITA-JSI以及几家欧洲和亚洲公司赞助，将有来自工业界、学术界和政府的特邀演讲者和海报演讲者，他们将描述如何“促进组织者之间在纳米技术主题上的交流和合作，更广泛的影响：这次会议将有助于讨论与国际热核研究报告技术路线图有关的问题，以及纳米技术如何在电子产品的持续增长方面发挥重要作用，超越国际热核研究报告路线图所设想的限制。至关重要的是，在未来10年内，或许可以通过使用纳米技术来克服这些限制。来自北美、欧洲和亚洲的全球资深研究人员、行业领袖和政策制定者将就纳米科学的各种努力以及合作机会进行讨论

Abstract Sanjay K. Banerjee INC3: CONFERENCE PROPOSALObjective:The objective of this proposal is to request travel funds from NSF to enable faculty from the US to attend the Third International Nanotechnology Conference on Communications and Cooperation (http://www.imec.be/inc3/about.html) from April 16-19, 2007 in Brussels, Belgium. In addition, we plan to invite some of the younger members of the faculty, who will present posters highlighting their work.Intellectual Merit:This conference is being sponsored by SRC-SIA, NSF, IMEC, JEITA-JSI, and several European and Asian companies It will feature invited speakers and poster presenters from industry, academia, and government who will describe how to "foster communication and cooperation on nanotechnology subjects among the organizers, sponsors and the world scientific community to stimulate and support economic growth in the 21st century."Broader Impact:The conference will help address issues related to ITRS technology roadmap and how nanotechnology can play an important role in continuing the growth of the Electronics beyond the limits envisioned by the ITRS roadmap. It is of fundamental importance that these limits are overcome in the next 10 years, perhaps through the use of nanotechnology. Global senior researchers, industry leaders and policy makers from North America, Europe and Asia will hold discussions on a variety of efforts in nanoscience, along with opportunities for collaboration
