The promise of nanotechnology is great, and every industrial country is making significant investments to realize its economic potential. Nanomaterials are a key foundation for progress in nanotechnology, and many scientific and engineering problems are being overcome. One significant challenge in advancing progress on nanomaterials arises from the large number of scientific disciplines that have an interest, including chemistry, materials science, molecular and cellular biology, medicine and health science, environmental science, as well as many others.

The workshop will feature overview presentations from experts in various aspects of nanomaterials, summaries of ongoing description development work, and small discussion groups to identify needed future actions. The workshop is on an invitation basis only. Approximately 50-60 attendees are expected.
