Nanotechnology Infrastructure Workshop April 3-4, 2012 Arlington, VA

目标：该提案旨在举办NSF纳米技术基础设施研讨会，以确定与NNIN（国家纳米技术基础设施倡议）相关的大学的纳米技术基础设施需求。 哥伦比亚大学和SRC将于2012年4月3日至4日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿共同组织研讨会。知识产权：NNIN在为大学建立设施和基础设施方面非常成功，以便在纳米技术的所有领域进行基础研究。本次研讨会试图确定NNIN下一阶段的需求，该阶段将继续并扩大美国大学的研究能力，并在国家重要领域教育下一代科学家和教育工作者。求婚？研讨会的目标明确，与会者在各自的科学领域都很突出，适合实现研讨会的既定目标。更广泛的影响：在过去的10年里，NNIN对美国纳米技术的研发和教育产生了根本性的影响，预计将继续这样做。此外，将更加重视纳米技术的社会和伦理影响，这将扩大对社会的好处。

Objective:This proposal is to conduct the NSF Workshop on Nanotechnology Infrastructure to identify nanotechnology infrastructure needs in universities related to the NNIN (National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Initiative). Columbia University and the SRC will co-organize the workshop which will be held in Arlington, Virginia on April 3-4, 2012.Intellectual Merit:The NNIN has been very successful in establishing facilities and infrastructure for universities to perform basic research in all areas of nanotechnology. This Workshop attempts to identify the needs for the next phase of NNIN which will continue and expand the research capabilities in US Universities and educate the next generations of scientists and educators in an area of National importance. The proposal?s goals are clearly articulated and the participants who are prominent in their scientific fields are appropriate for achieving the stated workshop goals. Broader Impact: The NNIN has had a fundamental impact on US nanotechnology R&D and education over the past 10 years and is expected to continue to do so. Additionally, more emphasis will be placed on the societal and ethical implications of nanotechnology which will broaden the benefits to society.
