Upcoming Meetings and Events

The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) expedites the discovery, development and deployment of nanoscale science and technology to serve the public good. To fulfill this vision, the NNI coordinates, sponsors and manages meetings and workshops on a wide range of topics from basic research to exploring the potential environmental, health and safety risks of nanotechnology.

Experts from industry, academia, and the Federal Government, as well as the general public, take part in these meetings and workshops to probe the state of the science in nanotechnology research and to identify gaps and emerging trends in nanotechnology-related research.

This list includes both NNI-sponsored and -affiliated workshops, as well as outside nanotechnology-related workshops that may be of interest to the public and to our stakeholders. If you would like your event to be considered for this list, please submit your event here.

57th International Conference on Electron, Ion, and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication

EIPBN, the “3-Beams”, Conference, is the premier conference on the science and technology of nanopatterning. Traditionally focused on electron, ion, and photon beams, (the 3 beams), the technology of nanofabrication covered in this conference has grown to include nanoimprint and molecular self-assembly as well.

2013 NNI Strategic Planning Stakeholder Workshop

The 2013 NNI Stakeholder Workshop will obtain input outside the U.S. Government on the future directions of the NNI. The recommendations of this one-and-a-half day workshop will inform the development of the 2013 NNI Strategic Plan.

5th Workshop on Nanotube Optics and Nanospectroscopy

Organized bySteve Doorn (LANL) and Feng Wang (UC Berkeley). The workshop will focus on the optical studies on nanotubes and graphene, including Light absorption, emission, & scattering; Raman spectroscopy; Carrier interactions, band structure & optical spectra; Excitons in carbon nanotubes; Spectroscopy of individual nanotubes; Magneto- and electro-optics; and more.

Clusters, Nanocrystals & Nanostructures

From Fundamental Chemical and Physical Processes to Applications.

NSF/ONR: Workshop on Key Scientific and Technological Issues for Development of Next-Generation Organic Solar Cells

The goal of this workshop is to summarize a strategic plan to address key issues in materials synthesis, device design, and photovoltaic processes control for developing next-generation organic solar cells with device efficiencies greater than 15 %.

The 6th International Symposium on Nanotechnology, Occupational and Environmental Health

The 6th International Symposium on Nanotechnology, Occupational and Environmental Health (NanOEH) will provide a high quality of scientific forum for scientists and practitioners to present and discuss the interaction between technical advances and societal, occupational and environmental impacts in the field of nanotechnology research.
