This proposal is to secure support for a first workshop between scientist and researchersfrom the United States and Ireland in the area of nanotechnology. This symposium is tobe held in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Oct 23 and 24. It will help strengthen alreadydeveloping ties between researchers in the US and Ireland in nanotechnology, and willalso be of great significance in involving joint participation from both the Republic ofIreland and Northern Ireland (the "Two Irelands"). The symposium will consist of: (i)Overview presentations by participants from US and Ireland on topics that define thecurrent forefronts in four selected sub-fields of nanoscience and technology where thereis substantial activity in both the US and the Two Irelands (Spintronics andNanomagnetics; Computational Nanoscience; Self Assembly Mechanisms; and Nano-BioInterfaces); (ii) Poster sessions that highlight the work of leading younger scientistsfrom the US and a broad community of scientist from the Two Irelands. (iii) Significanttime set aside for informal technical discussion and relationship building. (iv) Astructured planning session, where plans for specific collaborations will be developed.The major objective of the forum is to develop an agenda for possible future collaborativeresearch and educational exchange between the three nations in this field.

该提案旨在为美国和爱尔兰科学家和研究人员在纳米技术领域举办的首次研讨会获得支持。本次研讨会将于10月23日至24日在北爱尔兰贝尔法斯特举行。它将有助于加强美国和爱尔兰研究人员在纳米技术领域业已发展的联系，对爱尔兰和北爱尔兰两国共同参与具有重要意义（“两个爱尔兰”）。研讨会将包括： (i) 来自美国和爱尔兰的与会者的概述性演讲，主题定义了美国和两个爱尔兰都有大量活动的纳米科学和技术的四个选定子领域的当前前沿（自旋电子学和纳米磁学；计算纳米科学；自组装机制；和纳米生物界面）； (ii) 海报展示会，重点展示来自美国的年轻科学家和来自两个爱尔兰的广大科学家群体的工作。 (iii) 留出大量时间用于非正式技术讨论和建立关系。 (iv) 结构化规划会议，将制定具体合作计划。论坛的主要目标是为三个国家在这一领域未来可能的合作研究和教育交流制定议程。
