NSF纳米科学与工程（NSE）2019年受资助者会议是为期两天的年度活动，汇集了来自学术界，政府和工业界的纳米教育工作者，研究人员和实验人员，以突出有关NSF NSE赠款的研究和教育活动的信息。主要目标是促进创新研究进展的传播，促进研究伙伴关系，并确定未来的研究方向。小组讨论将由NSF资助的研究人员以及NSF项目主任主持。该会议有助于推进NSF和美国国家纳米技术倡议的目标。会议材料在活动结束后可在网站www.nseresearch.org上向广大受众提供，沿着以前活动的档案资料。NSE资助者会议将促进学术界，政府和行业研究人员在纳米技术领域的互动。关于纳米技术的巨大挑战和融合的主题演讲和互动小组讨论为创造性的跨学科合作创造了机会。确定和探索纳米技术和网络基础设施的未来趋势，使研究人员和行业准备充分利用下一代的能力。会议的第一天将重点关注基础纳米技术和基础设施的进展：神经系统中的纳米级过程;人工智能与纳米级建模，设计和系统的融合;纳米生物和环境系统中的量子现象，细胞纳米组件和合成生物学，纳米机器;以及纳米研究中心，NNCI和Nano-HUB。第二天将重点介绍重大机遇和融合：纳米可持续性和纳米塑料在环境中的应用;纳米生物传感;超材料;纳米地球科学和融合;融合方法-加速器;融合学习挑战;以及社会和环境方面。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSE) 2019 Grantees Conference is a two-day annual event that brings together nanoscale educators, researchers, and experimentalists from academia, government, and industry to highlight information on the research and education activities funded by NSF NSE grants. The primary goals are to promote dissemination of innovative research progress, to facilitate research partnerships, and to identify future research directions. Panel discussions will be moderated by NSF-funded researchers as well as NSF Program Directors. The conference helps advance the goals of the NSF and the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative. Conference materials are made available to the wider audience following the event at the website: www.nseresearch.org, along with archival information from previous events. The NSE grantees conference will foster interaction among academic, government, and industry researchers in nanotechnology fields. Keynote presentations and interactive panel discussions on the grand challenges in and convergence of nanotechnology generate opportunities for creative interdisciplinary collaboration. Identification and exploration of future trends in nanotechnology and cyberinfrastructure enable researchers and industry to prepare to fully capitalize on next-generation capabilities. The first day of the conference will focus on Progress in foundational nanotechnology and infrastructure: Nanoscale processes in neural systems; AI confluence with nanoscale modeling, design and systems; Quantum phenomena in nanobio and environmental systems, Cell Nanocomponents and Synthetic Biology, Nanomachines; and Nano research centers, NNCI and Nano-HUB. The second day will feature Grand opportunities and convergence: Nanosustainability and Nanoplastics in Environment; Nano- biosensing; Metamaterials; Nano-Geosciences and convergence; Convergence approaches - accelerators; Convergence Learning challenges; and Societal and environmental aspects.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
