Workshop for a Future Nanotechnology Infrastructure Support Program, August 18-19, 2014, Westin Arlington Gateway Hotel, Arlington, VA.

建议：ECCS-1450614 PI：Tom Theis，半导体研究公司标题：NSF未来纳米技术基础设施支持计划研讨会，2014年8月18日至19日，威斯汀酒店，阿灵顿VAABSTRACTNSF正在计划未来纳米技术基础设施支持计划，将接替国家纳米技术基础设施网络（NNIN）。该研讨会将汇集来自工业，工业和政府的22位公认的国家专家，以制定未来纳米技术基础设施支持计划的愿景，以及未来十年广泛用户社区的关键需求。研讨会将于2014年8月18日至19日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的威斯汀阿灵顿网关酒店举行，部分会议记录将通过网络会议提供给远程参与者。托马斯泰斯博士（IBM研究，分配给半导体研究公司）和马克Tuominen博士（马萨诸塞州大学，阿默斯特）将担任共同主席。讲习班将寻求发展和阐明未来纳米技术基础设施支持计划的愿景，通过使研究和技术开发社区能够实现纳米技术的关键机会来推进科学，技术和教育。讲习班的主要目标是：（一）确定纳米技术基础设施支持计划的重要目标，并提出实现这些目标的最佳方法;（二）确定用户群体的关键需求，以及这些需求在未来十年内的发展趋势; ㈢就方案内用户设施的组织和协调提出建议，并就适当的选择程序和选择标准提出建议;以及（iv）考虑将学生教育、培训和推广纳入基础设施计划的重要性，并确定该计划可以解决社会问题的方式。研讨会将提交一份报告，概述愿景、机遇和需求，该报告将提供给NSF，并通过NSF网站公开提供。

Proposal: ECCS-1450614PI: Tom Theis, Semiconductor Research CorporationTitle: NSF Workshop for a Future Nanotechnology Infrastructure Support Program, August 18-19, 2014, Westin Hotel, Arlington VAABSTRACTNSF is planning a future nanotechnology infrastructure support program that will succeed the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN). This Workshop will bring together 22 recognized national experts from academe, industry, and government to develop a vision of how such a future nanotechnology infrastructure support program could be structured and what the key needs for the broad user communities are over the coming decade. The Workshop will be held on August 18-19, 2014 at the Westin Arlington Gateway Hotel in Arlington, VA, with portions of the proceedings made available to remote participants via web conferencing. Dr. Thomas Theis (IBM Research, on assignment to the Semiconductor Research Corporation) and Dr. Mark Tuominen (University of Massachusetts, Amherst) will serve as co-chairs.The Workshop will seek to develop and articulate a vision for a future nanotechnology infrastructure support program that advances science, technology and education by enabling the research and technical development communities to bring key opportunities of nanotechnology to fruition. The primary objectives of the Workshop are to: (i) Identify the important goals of a nanotechnology infrastructure support program and recommend ways that these goals can best be achieved; (ii) Identify the key needs of the user communities and how these needs are expected to evolve over the next ten years; (iii) Develop recommendations for the organization and coordination of user facilities within the program, and recommend an appropriate selection process and selection criteria; and (iv) Consider the importance of integrating student education, training, and outreach into an infrastructure program, and in identifying ways that the program can address societal concerns. The Workshop will deliver a report outlining the vision, opportunities, and needs, which will be provided to NSF and be made publicly available through the NSF website.
