We would like to invite you to participate in the 17^th U.S.-Korea Forum on Nanotechnology. The purpose of this Forum is to provide a common platform for researchers from both countries to engage in discussions on emerging technologies that contribute next-generation semiconductors; in addition, the Forum will also offer opportunities for discussion environmental implications of semiconductor manufacturing, where nanotechnology convergence provides critical solutions.

The United States (through the National Science Foundation) and Korea (through the Ministry of Science and ICT) have been vigorously supporting and encouraging a common platform for the exchange of ideas and for promotion of research collaborations in nanotechnology through this yearly Forum. These Forum are set up by the recommendation of the Korea-US joint committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation. The first forum was initiated two decades ago. Since then, the locations of the Forum have alternated between Korea and the United States. Each previous forum had a different emerging technology focus.

The 17^th forum will include two keynote speakers, ten senior presenters and four additional early-career presenters from the U.S. and a roughly equal number of presenters from Korea. Unlike previous Forums, U.S. side will be in a hybrid format by combining traditional meetings (in-person) and virtual presentations using Zoom.

One of the objectives of this Forum is to promote exchange of researchers between the two countries in order to catalyze research collaborations. The outcomes of the Forum are expected to lead to some recommendations with milestones that the governments of both countries could implement in areas, where semiconductor technology plays an important role.
