2014 Nanoscale Science and Engineering Grantees Conference. Conference will be held at the Arlington Weston Hotel, Arlington, VA on December 9 -10, 2014.

该提案旨在为将于2014年12月9日和10日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的威斯汀酒店举行的纳米科学与工程（NSE）受赠者会议提供财政支持。纳米技术多年来一直在发展，并多样化为众多的附带技术。每年的受资助者会议有助于评估该学科最近取得的进展，并讨论当前的挑战，同时将这个多样化的研究社区联系在一起。会议计划为为期两天的会议，议程包括主题演讲，海报展示和圆桌小组讨论。这将促进最新研究成果向社区的传播，并促进有关该技术对社会影响的讨论。会议使研究人员之间建立联系，促进未来的合作。具体的重点领域包括量子效应，自组装，纳米光子学和纳米生物学。此外，讨论还将包括向商业部门转让技术的可能性。

The proposal seeks financial support for a Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSE) grantees conference to be held at the Westin Hotel, in Arlington, VA, on December 9 and 10, 2014.Nano technology has grown over the years and diversified into a multitude of spin-off technologies. The yearly grantees conference helps evaluate the recent progress made in this discipline, and discuss current challenges, while bridging together this diverse research community.The conference is planned as a two-day meeting, and the agenda includes keynote speakers, poster presentations and roundtable panel discussions. This will promote dissemination of recent research results to the community, and enable discussions on the impact of the technology on society. The meeting enables networking between researchers and facilitate future collaborations. Specific focused areas include quantum effects, self-assembly, nanophotonics and nanobiology. Additionally the discussions will include potential technology transfer to the commercial sector.
