Research Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology; location and date unknown

研究者将举行一次会议，由美国国家科学基金会和德国研究基金会（DFG）联合组织和资助。 会议将重点关注纳米材料和纳米技术在新型工程解决方案中的可持续利用。会议包括60名学者（30名来自美国和德国），他们的工作是在纳米科学和纳米技术研究的前沿。 学者包括代表广泛大学的高级和初级研究人员。该会议旨在成为学术界，工业界和国家实验室在纳米科学和纳米技术领域的研究人员之间联合研究活动的起点。该会议旨在通过考虑材料资源的可用性和使用纳米材料及其开发新工程解决方案所固有的新设计机会，采取强有力的跨学科方法。会议的目的是探讨多个研究团体在这方面的进展，并将这些团体跨越学科界限聚集在一起。会议的形式包括每次会议后一小时的专题小组讨论，旨在加强跨学科交流和研究团体之间的公开对话和辩论。所有参与者将在一个房间里，以刺激最大的相声和参与者之间的思想交流。会议还包括一个海报会议，为初级学者提供了一个展示原创研究的场所。更广泛的影响包括跨学科研究计划的发展，研究生和博士后研究的传播，以及美国/德国合作研究的可能性的增强。

The investigator will hold a conference, jointly organized and funded between the US National Science Foundation and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation- DFG). The conference will focus on the sustainable use of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies for novel engineering solutions. The conference includes 60 scholars (30 each from the US and Germany), whose work is at the cutting edge of nanoscience and nanotechnology research. Scholars include senior and junior researchers representing a broad range of universities.The conference is intended to be the starting point for joint research activities between researchers from academia, industry and national laboratories in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The conference aims at a strong cross-disciplinary approach by taking into account the availability of materials resources and new design opportunities inherent to the use of nanomaterials and their development for novel engineering solutions. The objective is to explore the advances in several research communities with regard to such questions, and to bring these communities together across disciplinary boundaries.The conference format including special one-hour panel discussions after every session is designed to enhance cross-disciplinary exchange and open dialogue and debate between the research communities. All participants will present in a single room, so as to stimulate maximum cross-talk and exchange of ideas between the participants. The conference also includes a poster session that provides a venue for presentation of original research by Junior scholars.Broader impacts include the development of cross-disciplinary research initiatives, dissemination of graduate student and post-doc research, and enhancement of US/Germany collaborative research possibilities.
