4th Annual NanoScience Technology Symposium

NanoFlorida™ has been great success in the last three years. At the inaugural NanoScience 2008 event held at the University of Central Florida, we had over 200 participants and the number increased ever since. This event engaged students from the University of Centrla Florida, University of Florida, University of South Florida, Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, University of West Florida and Florida State University. To continue with the efforts, NanoFlorida™ 2011, the Fourth Annual Nanoscience Technology Symposium at the Florida International University during September 30- Oct 1st, 2011.

The NanoFlorida™ symposium is being organized with a view to:

• Create a forum for researchers in the State of Florida for scientific exchange and to help identify emerging challenges at the frontiers of nanoscience and technology.
• Promote closer research ties and networking opportunities within the Florida nanoscience community.
• Foster and encourage collaborative research efforts between academicians from different Florida universities and institutes and beyond.
• Forge strong industry-academia partnerships in the field of nanoscience technology to promote market driven research and innovation in Florida and beyond.
• Encourage and showcase the contributions of young graduate, undergraduate students and postdocs by creating a student-friendly event where they can present their research among their peers thereby ensuring a new generation of nanoscientists.

This year our goal is to expand the scope of this program and make this a true trans-Florida event with the majority of the participants from non-Orlando institutions. We intend to cover the cutting edge scientific topics which have significant economic impact.

Students, research scientists (including postdocs) and faculty members are welcome to participate in NanoFlorida™ 2011.
