What have we done so far?
Initiated discussions among national
and regional nano leaders
Survey of existing nano activities
Key Finding: A global infrastructure isneeded to support collaborations in
nano research, education, and
technology.
Survey of existing nano activities
Survey of existing nano networks
(national, regional, topical)
Discussions to link these networks to
form a GNN
Key Finding: The GNN must focus on
non-competitive issues for common
benefit

Main Goal of this Workshop
Create a GNN implementation structurebased on ourcommon interests.
1. Agree upon areas of common interest
2. Identify necessary resources
3. Identify near and long term objectives
4. Select regional leaders and steering committee
5. Enlist member support
So what are some possible areas of common interest?

Global Research Gallery
Developed at NU as a forum for sharingresearch at the pre-competitive stage
Research posters, searchable by topic,
author, etc, Discussion forum
Excellent tool for enlarging international
cooperation

NCLT exists to build national capacity in nanoscale scienceand engineering education (NSEE) and to advance science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.
Professional
Development: Providingeducation resources and
development programs that willprepare students & practicing
teachers to become NSEeducators
Content Development:Focusing on the design of NSE
instructional materials forgrades 7-16
Degree Program in NSEE
Education: Mobilizingcollege- and university-level
educators based at institutionsnationwide that will offerundergraduate & graduatedegrees in NSEE
NSEE Research &
Learning Tools: Organizingand supporting research on theintegration of NSE-basedcurricula into STEM education
Components of NCLTs I n t eg r a t ed Pr o g r a m

Database
A database is needed to house:
Researcher directories
Facilities directories
Educational content
Journals and publications
Specialized software
Other resources
Examples: Database initiatives in Japan, Canada, andother countries
