International Conference on Nanoscience - Young Giants of Nanoscience, 2016
Abstract
Major Goals: The proposed conference was held in Hong Kong, in May of 2016. It was the second in a series that began as a conference on Nanoscience held at Northwestern University in August of 2011, which was originally established to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Prof. Chad A. Mirkins Lab at Northwestern. That event had approximately 100 participants and consisted of 20 lectures from academic and industry leaders in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Due to the overwhelming response to the high-quality talks and the fruitful exchange of ideas between academic and high-tech industry, the organizing committee decided to establish this event as a series, held every five years.The plan is to hold a meeting at Northwestern, at the International Institute for Nanotechnology, and then five years later, hold the meeting at a location in Asia. Therefore, we chose Hong Kong as the first Asian location of the conference. In the future we anticipate Singapore and South Korea as locations.
