SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
The aim of the Forum
is the dissemination and development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
The emphasis is on current and future directions that are perceived to
have an impact on industry and also provide societal benefits.
This 2003 Forum occurs
in Portoconte, only by invitation, two years after the first Forum in the
same format, and after five successful years of Elba-MPS Forum held in
Rome and Mainz in the traditional format with the participations of over
800 leading scientists from over 30 different countries.
The modus operandi
of the workshop is a discussion and development of themes of current relevance
and concerns. Consequently, the invited participants selected from leading
international institution of Academia, Government, Industry and Research
Institutions dedicate only a limited amount of time to informal, short
presentations relating to their own most resent work. The aim of the short
presentation is to introduce backgrounds, areas of expertise, and areas
of interests and concerns to the participants at large. These are not truly
focused scientific talks in the conventional sense of conference style
presentations.
The meeting is free,
unconstrained and dynamic and since it is an open forum designed to be
intellectually stimulating, we indicate in this program only few possible
topics to be discussed. There will be few short key-note introductory talks
on recent trends in nanotechnology in each of the following sectors:
- Nanobiotechnology and Nanomedicine two years later;
- Nanoinstrumentation, Nanomechanics and Nanomaterialstwo years later;
- Nanooptics and Nanoelectronics two years later;
- Ethical and Societal issues in nanotechnology two years later;
As a result of the free and unconstrained discussions
on "Where the above sectors are headed and where should be headed?" there
will be a plenary consensus report for each of the four sectors to be subsequently
published in leading international journals and to be distributed in a
synthetic form to the international media.
Examples of the possible challenges still present
TWO YEARS LATER are:
- Progress in Nanomechanics
- Polymers Based Nanoelectronics
- Nanoarchitectonics
- Single molecules:
- Ultimate limits of fabrication and measurement
- Devices-reality or conjecture
- Nanotransistors and storage
- Polymers and Biopolymers as materials for nanotechnology
- Biotechnology as a tool for nanotechnology, and vice versa
- Connecting soft and hard systems at the nanometer scales
- Dangers of Nanotechnology
- Cantilevers - what next?
- Nanooptics - bioenergy, storage, information technology (IT)
- Nanobiotechnology - tolerance of technical devices to bio, self-assembly for electrons
- Nanomachines, Nanoactuators, Nanosensor
- Biorecognition and assembly
- Proteomics and Nanocrystallography
- Future generation Synchrotron Radiation Sources and their impact in nanotechnology
- Future generation DNA Chip and Molecular Genomics
- Methods for generating nanolayers of functional biomolecules on solid supports
- 10-20 years outlook and initiatives at global and national level
- Which industries are most likely to be impacted
- How does industry find and work with academia
- Intellectual property
- Political and economic framework for Nanotechnology contribution to socio-economic development.
