Third Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization Conference

http://www.susnano.org/conferenceOverview2014.html

(3 days)

Boston Hyatt Regency1 Avenue de LafayetteBostonMA02111

2014 CONFERENCE

The objective of this conference is to bring together scientific experts from academia, industry, and government agencies from around the world to present and discuss current research findings on the subject of nanotechnology and sustainability. The SNO Conference emphasizes not only the environmental aspects of sustainability but also the societal and economic sustainability issues.

The conference program will address the critical aspects of sustainable nanotechnology such as life cycle assessment, green synthesis, green energy, industrial partnerships, environmental and biological fate, and the overall sustainability of engineered nanomaterials. In principle, this involves the fundamental/applied research on the chemistry of producing new green nanomaterials; eco-manufacturing processing of nanomaterials and products, using nanotechnology to benefit society, and examining possible harmful effects of nanotechnology.

The conference will also foster new collaborations between academic and industrial participants. This community of users, researchers and developers of engineered nanomaterials will provide a long-term, scientific assessment of where the science is for sustainable nano, where it should be heading, and what steps academics, government agencies and others can take now to reach targeted goals. In addition, the conference will serve as the platform to initiate the formation of the Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization (SNO), a non-profit, international professional society dedicated to advancing sustainable nanotechnology through education, research, and promotion of responsible development of nanotechnology. In addition, the SNO Conference will serve as a platform to strengthen and sustain the work of the Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization (SNO), a non-profit, international professional society dedicated to advancing sustainable nanotechnology through education, research, and promotion of responsible development of nanotechnology.

Strategies for Supporting 2YC/4YC Student Transfer in the Geosciences Webinar

http://serc.carleton.edu/sage2yc/webinars/2yc4yctransfer.html

Online

Many students enroll at two-year colleges (2YC) as a cost-effective and flexible entry to college. For those students who intend to continue on at a four-year college or university (4YC), however, the transfer process is often challenging. Faculty at 2YCs play a key role in identifying students who have an interest in geosciences, offering opportunities that serve the advising needs of these students, and providing students with activities in and beyond the classroom that promote the skills and interactions necessary for success at a 4YC. Likewise, faculty at 4YCs can foster transfer student success through targeted advising, specific transition programs for transfer students from 2YCs (e.g., field trips), and curricular alignment with 2YC programs. Through strong collaborations, faculty at both 2YCs and 4YCs can work to minimize transfer shock and facilitate the transfer process. During the webinar, we will have time for discussion and questions. We hope you will join us!
