You are cordially invited to participate in the 18th U.S.-Korea Forum on Nanotechnology. The purpose of the Forum on Nanotechnology is to provide a common platform for researchers from both countries to engage in discussions on emerging technologies that contribute to next-generation semiconductors. This year's Forum will provide opportunities for discussion on sustainability in semiconductor manufacturing and sensors related to human cognition where nanotechnology convergence provides critical solutions to our most pressing technological challenges.
Through this annual Forum, the United States’ National Science Foundation and Korea’s Ministry of Science and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have been vigorously supporting and encouraging a common platform for the exchange of ideas for the promotion of research collaboration in nanotechnology. These Forums continue to thrive on the recommendation of the Korea-U.S. Joint Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation. The first Forum was initiated two decades ago, and since then, the locations of the Forum have alternated between Korea and the United States. Because of the wide array of technical challenges to which nanotechnology can be successfully applied, each previous Forum had a different emerging technology focus. New this year, the 18th Forum will include three keynote speakers, eight senior presenters, eight early-career presenters from the U.S., and a roughly equal number of presenters from Korea.
An additional objective of this year's Forum is to promote the exchange of researchers between the two countries to catalyze research collaborations. The outcomes of the Forum are expected to lead to recommendations with milestones that the governments of both countries can implement in areas where semiconductor technology plays an essential role.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Tempe in September!
