The international winter school for graduate students is an educational program of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, consisting of both a high level, focused nanotechnology course combined with a field experience. The technical course is held in conjunction with a leading academic institution in a developing country. Ten to twelve highly select US graduate students are selected for this experience each year.
Applications are solicited from students across the US , during August of each year. The course is held during December or January of each year.
Applications for the next instance of the course will be open in August 2011. Announcements will be widely distributed to leading science and engineering departments in the US, as well as to all NNIN users. It is not necessary to be an NNIN user to be selected.
The 4th iWSG will be held in Brazil on the campus of Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) in Campinas, Brazil, near Sao Paulo , January 8-20, 2012. The second week will consist of a field experience in rural Brazil. The topic will be "Silicon and III-V Nano Photonics "
This workshop will provide young researchers (graduate students, post-docs) from across the Americas with lectures and hands-on tutorial sessions in computational condensed matter, chemistry, and materials sciences for energy applications. It will also provide participants with a chance to build international connections and collaborations. Full travel support and housing for accepted participants will be provided. Energy topics will include battery design, photonics, thermoelectrics, piezoelectric energy harvesting, multiscale modeling, and computational searches for new materials.
The EC-Council CHFI prep course will give participants the necessary skills to identify an intruder's footprints and to properly gather the necessary evidence to prosecute. Many of today's top tools of the forensic trade will be taught during this course, including software, hardware and specialized techniques. The need for businesses to become more efficient and integrated with one another, as well as the home user, has given way to a new type of criminal, the "cyber-criminal." It is no longer a matter of "will your organization be comprised (hacked)?" but, rather, "when?" This course will contain hands-on labs!
Today's battles between corporations, governments, and countries are no longer fought only in the typical arenas of boardrooms or battlefields using physical force. Now the battlefield starts in the technical realm, which ties into most every facet of modern day life. If you or your organization requires the knowledge or skills to identify, track, and prosecute the cyber-criminal, then this is the course for you.
Who should attend: This course will significantly benefit anyone who is concerned about the integrity of their network infrastructure, network security, or computer forensics. It is also intended for those interested in taking the EC-Council CHFI Exam EC0 312-49.
Price: Registration is always free to consortium members and other qualifying individuals. Registration is open at the www.cyberwatchcenter.org website, or contact Margaret Leary at mleary@nvcc.edu if you would like to attend and are not a consortium member.

This conference, presented by BCBC and Bio-Link, will focus on Incorporating Workforce Development into your curricula. This will include how to gain the skill set you need to get an interview, and the skill set to get the job you want.
This intensive 3.5 day short course offered by the Cornell NanoScale Science & Technology Facility, combines lectures and laboratory demonstrations designed to impart a broad understanding of the science and technology required to undertake research in nanoscience. Attendance is open to the general scientific community, but class size is limited to 30 participants (see notes below).
Deciding what to measure (and what not to measure) towards gathering evidence of impact can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t need to be. In this webinar, Lana Rucks, an ATE external evaluator, will provide a step-by-step approach for making the decisions around what should be measured as an indication of impact. Using an actual ATE project as a framework, attendees will learn how the varying aspects of evaluation (e.g., logic modeling, operationalizing variables, triangulation, etc.) come together in the real world. Regardless of whether you are in the planning phase or already started the implementation your project, you’ll walk away knowing how to better communicate the story of your project/center’s impact.
On January 17, 2012, on the Harvard campus, CNS will host an international symposium on bio-inspired engineering sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the NNIN, and CNS.
Representative themes of the event include:
• Study and mastery of efficient biological systems
• Bio-mimicry
• Self-organizing behavior
• Bio-fabrication
• Engineered surfaces
In this webinar, EvaluATE staff will help ATE grantees prepare for the upcoming annual ATE survey (which takes place February 15 – March 15). We will review changes for 2012 (the 2012 questionnaire is one-third shorter than the 2011 version!), address frequently asked questions (both substantive and technical), and clarify definitions. We’ll also discuss how to use the information grantees report on the survey for other purposes (e.g., internal, formative evaluation and annual reporting to NSF) and use aggregate results for benchmarking grant progress against other ATE projects and centers.
Attendees are also encouraged to send questions about the survey ahead of time to Stephanie Evergreen stephanie.evergreen@wmich.edu
Presenters: Lori Wingate--PI, EvaluATE; Jason Burkhardt--Project Manager, EvaluATE
Discussants: David Campbell--ATE Program Officer, NSF: Dan Hull--Executive Director/PI, OP-TEC (National Center for Optics and Photonics Education)

In this webinar you will explore the explosion of microsystems in the medical industry including:
• What are BioMEMS?
• How do they work?
• What areas in the medical field do BioMEMS impact?
• Emerging applications of BioMEMS
In 1993, Underwater Intervention was introduced as the combination of the ROV Intervention Conference and The ADCI Diving Symposium. The success of those early years has continued with Underwater Intervention growing annually into the world's premiere event for Remotely Operated Vehicles, Commercial Diving Contractors, Manned Submersibles, and all other aspects of the Underwater Operations Industry.
The most recent conference and exhibition, held in New Orleans Feb. 9 - 11, 2010, saw record growth in exhibiting companies. The technical program had a strong offering, and our attendance was healthy. In a business climate where companies are cutting back and travel budgets are tight, our numbers prove that Underwater Intervention is highly valued as an event that cannot be missed.
Underwater Intervention's sponsoring organizations are non-profit, membership supported professional organizations. By supporting Underwater Intervention, you are supporting and giving back to the industries and communities represented at Underwater Intervention. Proceeds from the annual conference go back into member driven programs that support education and training, provide scholarships, and support safety initiatives throughout the underwater operations industries.
