1063955 Shah, University of DelawareSummary of Proposal: This project is for support for 12 US participants, including professors and students -to a workshop on Environmental Nanotechnology and Ethics to be held in Lahore, Pakistan on March 28-31, 2011. The workshop is part of longer collaborative activities on nanotechnology research and education supported by the U.S. and Pakistan, and it has a new dimension related to environmental and societal implications of nanotechnology, in addition to synthesis of nanomaterials. Intellectual Merit: The workshop deal with environmental and ethical issues associated with the emergence of science and engineering at the nanoscale. This topic provides a unique perspective that is not fully addressed at many existing conferences. The meeting will provide exchange of information, contribute to developing personal connections, and will contribute to strengthening scientific and engineering research. The PI has already sought/obtained local financial support in addition to this NSF funding for the travel of US participants. Preference in travel support will be given to those who have not traveled to Pakistan before. The planned technical programming and slate of invited speakers are strong. Broader Impact: The workshop is designed to introduce emerging topics in environmental nanotechnology and ethics to a scientific community within Pakistan and nearby regions. Ten US students are expected t attend this workshop. The workshop provides a unique forum to stimulate collaborations between US and Pakistan in the areas of environmental and ethical issues associated with nanotechnology. The US participation in the workshop is important considering the value of exchanges with Pakistan and neighboring countries, recognizing the increased level of funding and overall research for nanotechnology in Pakistan, and the potential of the workshop to address new topics on environmental and societal implications.

1063955 Shah，提议的提案：该项目是为包括教授和学生在内的12名参与者提供支持的支持，用于在2011年3月28日至31日在巴基斯坦的拉合尔举行的环境纳米技术和伦理学研讨会。除了纳米材料的合成外，纳米技术的环境和社会意义。 智力优点：讲习班处理与纳米级科学和工程学相关的环境和道德问题。该主题提供了一个独特的观点，在许多现有会议上尚未完全解决。 会议将提供信息交换，有助于建立个人联系，并有助于加强科学和工程研究。 除了为美国参与者的旅行提供NSF资金外，PI除了这笔NSF资金外，已经寻求/获得了当地的财政支持。 偏爱旅行支持将偏向那些以前从未去过巴基斯坦的人。 计划中的技术编程和被邀请的演讲者很强大。 更广泛的影响：该研讨会旨在将环境纳米技术和伦理学的新兴主题引入巴基斯坦和附近地区的科学界。 预计有十名美国学生会参加这个研讨会。 该研讨会提供了一个独特的论坛，以在与纳米技术相关的环境和道德问题领域刺激我们与巴基斯坦之间的合作。 考虑到与巴基斯坦和邻国交流的价值，美国参加研讨会很重要，这是巴基斯坦纳米技术的资金水平和整体研究水平的提高，以及讲习班解决环境和社会影响的新主题的潜力。
