Villa Conference on Interactions Among Nanostructures

Ritz Carlton - St. Thomas, USVI
September 6 - 11, 2009

Message from the conference chairs

Theritzcarlton011 This conference on Interaction Among Nanostructures aims to promote discussions and information exchange across the frontiers of research in the area of modern nanostructure development. International scientists with common professional interests in nanoscience will unite in a friendly and informal atmosphere to share both their knowledge of recent developments as well as their ideas about prospective directions and approaches to nano-scale advancements.

The upscale accommodation of the Ritz-Carlton is chosen in an effort to foster intensive discussions in a relaxing setting. The conference style is reminiscent of the Gordon Research Conferences (GRCs), which are well-recognized for their effectiveness in promoting communication among scientists in a setting other than traditional large scientific meetings. While GRCs restrict attendees to keep information between fellow attendees and inside the conference walls, prohibiting direct publication and reference to the conference in publications, we are encouraging open-access to all of the information presented at the conference, regardless of whether given in a talk, a poster, or the following conference proceedings.

By open-access, we refer to free availability of conference materials on the Internet with your permission, permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these presentations and articles, use them for indexing, or as input data for other software, or indeed, use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical impediments. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give conference attendees control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

This conference consists of two components: nano-research, for close discussion and open sharing, to stimulate in-depth understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological interactions among nanoscale components, including carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles, nanowires and quantum dots and nano-education, to share best practices and awareness of nano-education within the university setting and chart the future direction on nano-research, grants, curriculum development and international collaborations.

This conference will not only be a time to enjoy the company of fellow researchers in the field, but also a time to relax and enjoy a wide range of beautiful beaches, water activities, duty-free shopping and unique Caribbean islands nearby. It's an incomparable paradise that is well within your reach!

We encourage you to give yourself some time for recreational pursuits!
