Nanostructured Advanced Materials Workshop in Amman, Jordan

Areas of Interest

PolyBrite International     NanoSi Advanced Technology Inc.     Naizak: Excellence through dedication     The National Science Foundation     The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign     The University of Jordan     King Saud University     B-Design Group

MAIN THEME
The main theme of the workshop is nanotechnology, and its applications and commercialization.
We intend this Workshop to focus on topics involving advanced materials and devices in bulk, film, nano or nano structured. The lectures will be interdisciplinary in nature but they will bring the audience to the latest in the covered areas. Among the areas of current interest are:
  • Polymer-, ceramic-, and semiconductor-based advanced nano structured materials: synthesis, characterization, processing, novel optical, chemical, electronic, or engineering properties; cost of production
  • Applications of advanced materials in the chemical industry, biomedicine, energy, electronics and photonics, construction and infrastructure health monitoring, environment and agriculture; Low cost applications of advanced materials that would be of interest to developing countries as well as advanced industrial countries
  • World-wide networking, cooperation and collaboration, transfer of know-how
  • Issues of commercialization, joint venture, and intellectual property

PARTICIPATION
Participation is open for those in the Arab world who are interested in nanotechnology and its applications including:

  • Scientists, researchers and engineers, specialists, graduate and undergraduate students.
  • Industrialists, business-men and women, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, intellectual property specialists
  • Policy makers and officials
  • High school teachers and students
  • Science writers and news reporters

INVITED SPEAKERS
10 American speakers who are specialized in nanotechnology will be invited.

In addition, a number of satellite symposia will be held during the nanostructured advanced material workshop (NAM). Participants in these symposia can be drawn from participants in the NAM workshop as well as from scientists and technologists working in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, etc. and who are not necessarily specialized in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
