IN-PERSON EVENTS

11th Annual Winter School on Emerging Technologies: Accelerating Impactful Scholarship (January 3-10, 2024)
The Winter School will give junior scholars and scientists an introduction to and practical experience with methods and theory for better understanding the social dimensions of emerging technologies. The 2024 Winter School will be focused on the broad notion of impact with an aim to explore ways for participants to increase and diversify the impact of their work. The National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure Coordinating Office is now supporting the winter school, run by the School for the Future of Innovation in Society at Arizona State University.
Visit https://sfis.asu.edu/events/winter-school/ to apply. DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS MONDAY OCTOBER 16, 2023.

2024 NNCI Etch Symposium (April 24-26, 2024)
This symposium on "Advances in Micro- & Nanoscale Patterning of Strategic and Emerging Materials for Electronic, Photonic, Quantum, & MEMS Devices" will be held at Georgia Institute of Technology.
Registration coming soon.

NNCI Nano+Additive Manufacturing Summit (July 30-31, 2024)
This annual event brings together researchers/users in the advanced manufacturing fields of additive manufacturing and micro/nanotechnology to discuss new findings, share results, showcase capabilities, generate ideas, debate the future, and network with one another. Nano/AM Symposium is open to all scientists, engineers, students and industry partners from a variety of disciplines/areas including microtechnology, nanotechnology, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, healthcare, energy, advanced materials, MEMS, biotechnology, commercial products, defense, and nano-education. Participants will hear exciting presentations about the latest nano/AM technologies, learn about existing state-of-the-art core facilities available to the public, and discuss ways that industry can access a wide variety of academic resources, including their most valuable resource – creative, hard-working students.
