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，特拉华大学提案摘要：该项目旨在支持 12 名美国参与者，包括教授和学生，参加将于 2011 年 3 月 28 日至 31 日在巴基斯坦拉合尔举行的环境纳米技术和伦理学研讨会。这是美国和巴基斯坦支持的纳米技术研究和教育长期合作活动的一部分，它具有与环境和社会影响相关的新维度纳米技术，除了纳米材料的合成。 智力优势：研讨会讨论与纳米尺度科学和工程的出现相关的环境和伦理问题。该主题提供了许多现有会议尚未充分讨论的独特视角。 这次会议将提供信息交流，有助于发展个人联系，并将有助于加强科学和工程研究。 除了 NSF 为美国参与者提供的旅行资助外，PI 还寻求/获得了当地的财政支持。 那些以前没有去过巴基斯坦的人将优先获得旅行支持。 计划中的技术节目和受邀演讲嘉宾阵容都很强大。 更广泛的影响：该研讨会旨在向巴基斯坦及附近地区的科学界介绍环境纳米技术和伦理学方面的新兴主题。 预计有十名美国学生参加本次研讨会。 该研讨会提供了一个独特的论坛，以促进美国和巴基斯坦在与纳米技术相关的环境和道德问题领域的合作。 考虑到与巴基斯坦和邻国交流的价值、认识到巴基斯坦纳米技术的资金和总体研究水平的增加以及研讨会解决环境和社会影响新主题的潜力，美国参加研讨会非常重要。
