French - American Young Engineering Scientists Symposium 2009

来自美国和法国的Wiesner科学家和工程师在过去两年里通过由美国国家科学基金会、法国大使馆科学和技术办公室、国家科学研究中心和法国CEA赞助的一系列研讨会和研讨会，在年轻科学家之间建立了合作关系。这次研讨会的目的是通过为期三天的会议，让一群来自工业、学术界和政府实验室的早期职业工程师和科学家聚集在一起，讨论与纳米技术相关的几个领域的前沿研究和开创性技术工作，并进一步发展合作关系。2009年研讨会将致力于纳米技术领域内的三个主题：-纳米尺度现象的模拟和联网-纳米生物界面的仪器、检测和应用-环境、健康和围绕纳米技术应用的安全问题。为这次研讨会申请的资金将支持大约20名美国与会者的旅行，包括概述和主旨演讲者。研讨会的受邀者将由美国联合主席从征求的意见书中挑选，如果有可能贯彻到底，这些意见书来自正在与法国同行发展合作关系并将从这方面的更多互动中受益的以前的YESS参与者。最初研讨会的受邀者包括来自不同地区的广泛的大学(公立/私立/HBU)。国际合作研究纳米技术在分子电子、医学和环境保护中的应用，以及这些技术对人类健康和环境的影响以及这些技术的社会影响的研究，在美国、法国、欧洲和其他地区得到了高度重视。这次讲习班旨在提高早期职业科学家和工程师对这些领域的努力的认识，目的是在他们各自的研究工作中建立合作和提高协同作用。虽然美国和法国都认识到了在这些领域进行研究的必要性，但小组之间的协调有限。研讨会的受邀者将代表各自领域的领先年轻研究人员，这些材料将提供电子、医疗应用以及对人类健康、环境和社会影响的顶级研究成果的样本。BROADER IMPACTS除了研讨会的科学价值外，还将包括建立研究人员之间的个人联系，加快美国在这一领域的努力的国际化，以及传播有关纳米材料的应用和环境影响的信息。为研讨会挑选美国参与者将包括对参与者多样性的强烈考虑，以及加快合作关系的潜力，否则这些合作关系可能不会发展。

0947467WiesnerScientists and engineers from the US and France have been building collaborative linkages between young scientists over the last two years through a series of workshops and symposia sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and the Office for Science and Technology of the Embassy of France, the CNRS and the CEA in France. The aim of this symposium is to bring together through a three day meeting, a select group of early career engineers and scientists from industry, academe, and government labs to discuss leading edge research and pioneering technical work in several fields related to nanotechnology and further develop collaborative relationships.The 2009 symposium will be devoted to three topics within the area of Nanotechnology:- Simulation and networking of phenomena at the nanoscale- Instrumentation, detection and applications at the nano bio interface- Environmental, health, and safety issues surrounding nanotechnology applicationsFunds requested for this workshop will support travel for an estimated twenty US participants, including overview and keynote speakers. Invitees to the workshop will be selected by the US co-Chairs from submissions solicited, where there is the possibility of follow through, from previous YESS participants who are developing collaborative relationships with their French counterparts and will benefit from additional interactions in this regard. Invitees from the initial workshop included a broad spectrum of universities (public/private/HBU) from geographically diverse regions.INTELLECTUAL MERITResearch on the applications of nanotechnology to molecular electronics, medicine and environmental protection as well as study of the impacts on human health and environment and societal implications of these technologies have received high priority in the US, France, Europe, and beyond. This workshop seeks to improve awareness of efforts in these areas among early career scientists and engineers with the goal of establishing collaborations and improving synergy in their respective research efforts. While the need for research in these areas has been recognized in both the US and France, coordination between groups has been limited. Invitees to the workshop will represent leading young researchers in their respective fields and the materials will provide a sample of top research efforts in electronics, medical applications and impacts on human health, environment and society.BROADER IMPACTSImpacts beyond the scientific merits of the workshop will include the establishment of personal contacts between researchers, an accelerated internationalization of US efforts in this area and the dissemination of information on applications and environmental impacts of nanomaterials. Selection of US participants for the workshop will include a strong consideration of participant diversity and the potential for accelerating collaborations ties that might not otherwise develop.
