EVENTS
At the heart of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) is nanotechnology research and development across the entire continuum, from basic research that fuels new discoveries through application-driven advanced research and development that leads to new products in the market. While individual agencies direct and support specific funding programs in pursuit of their respective missions, the strength of the NNI stems from the connections and collaborations that bring these efforts together and build out the entire ecosystem.
PAST MEETINGS AND EVENTS
The NNI coordinates and manages meetings, webinars, and other events on a wide range of topics from basic research to exploring the potential environmental, health and safety risks of nanotechnology. Experts from industry, academia, and the Federal government, as well as the general public, take part in these events to probe the state of the science in nanotechnology research and to identify gaps and emerging trends in nanotechnology-related research.
NATIONAL NANOTECHNOLOGY DAY
The annual National Nanotechnology Day takes place on October 9, a date chosen to honor the nanometer scale (10-9 meters) to help raise awareness of nanotechnology.
2024 NANOINFOCUS IMAGE CONTEST
In celebration of National Nanotechnology Day and National Chemistry Week, three scientific organizations held a joint image contest, which gave people the opportunity to explore and showcase the beauty of the nanoscale and to learn the value of working at fundamental length scales.
PUBLIC WEBINARS
The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO) holds webinars periodically to share information with the general public and the nanotechnology research and development community.
