National Nanotechnology Initiative Meetings
ACTION: Notice of public meetings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), on
behalf of the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET)
Subcommittee of the Committee on Technology, National Science and
Technology Council (NSTC), will facilitate stakeholder discussion of
targeted nanotechnology topics through workshops, webinars, and
Community of Interest meetings between the publication date of this
Notice and December 31, 2020.
DATES: The NNCO will hold one or more workshops, webinars, networks,
and Community of Interest teleconferences between the publication date
of this Notice and December 31, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Attendance information, including addresses, will be posted
on nano.gov. For information about upcoming workshops and webinars,
please visit https://www.nano.gov/events/meetings-workshops and https://www.nano.gov/PublicWebinars. For more information on the Communities
of Interest, please visit https://www.nano.gov/Communities.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information regarding this Notice,
please contact Patrice Pages at [email protected] or 202-517-1050.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These public meetings address the charge in
the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act for NNCO
to provide ``for public input and outreach . . . by the convening of
regular and ongoing public discussions''. Workshop and webinar topics
may include strategic planning; technical subjects; environmental,
health, and safety issues related to nanomaterials (nanoEHS); business
case studies; or other areas of potential interest to the
nanotechnology community. Areas of focus for the Communities of
Interest may include research on nanoEHS; nanotechnology education;
nanomedicine; nanomanufacturing; or other areas of potential interest
to the nanotechnology community. The Communities of Interest are not
intended to provide any government agency with advice or
recommendations; such action is outside of their purview.
Registration: Due to space limitations, pre-registration for
workshops is required. Workshop registration is on a first-come, first-
served basis, and will be capped as space limitations dictate.
Registration information will be available at https://www.nano.gov/events/meetings-workshops. Registration for the webinars will open
approximately two weeks prior to each event and will be capped at 500
participants or as space limitations dictate. Individuals planning to
attend a webinar can find registration information at https://www.nano.gov/PublicWebinars. Written notices of participation for
workshops, webinars, or Communities of Interest should be sent by email
to [email protected].
Meeting Accommodations: Individuals requiring special accommodation
to access any of these public events should contact [email protected]
at least ten business days prior to the meeting so that appropriate
arrangements can be made.
