SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

These public meetings address the charge in the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act for NNCO to provide “public input and outreach . . . by the convening of regular and ongoing public discussions.” Workshop and webinar topics may include technical subjects; environmental, health, and safety issues related to nanomaterials (nanoEHS); business case studies; or other areas of potential interest to the nanotechnology community. Areas of focus for the communities of research may include research on nanoEHS, nanotechnology education, nanomedicine, nanomanufacturing, climate change, nanometrology, or other areas of potential interest to the nanotechnology community. The communities of research are not intended to provide any government agency with advice or recommendations; such action is outside of their purview.

Registration: Due to space limitations, pre-registration for workshops is required. Workshop registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration information will be available at https://www.nano.gov/get-involved/research-community/meetings-and-events. Registration for the webinars will open approximately two weeks prior to each webinar and will be capped at 500 participants or as space limitations dictate. Individuals planning to attend a webinar can find registration information at https://www.nano.gov/PublicWebinars. Written notices of participation in workshops, webinars, networks, or communities of research should be sent by email to info@nnco.nano.gov.

Meeting Accommodations: Individuals requiring special accommodation to access any of these public events should contact info@nnco.nano.gov at least 10 business days prior to the event, so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
