Teaching participants how to translate advances in nanoscience into viable nanotechnology will be the goal of an ASME program this summer: the Nano Training Bootcamp.

The ASME Nano Training Bootcamp will be held July 8-11, at Northwestern University's Allen Center in Evanston, Ill. Seating will be limited to 70.

Using nanoengineering as a bridge between nanoscience and nanotechnology, the ASME Nano Training Bootcamp will offer a detailed and tutorial-based account of advances in fundamentals related to nanoscience in a wide variety of fields, and prospects for translating these advances into useful nanotechnologies.

Participants will be challenged with open-ended questions and opportunities in engineering nanosystems. Given by world-renowned experts in academia and industry, the ASME Nano Bootcamp will be held in the leading nanotechnology research environment of Northwestern University.

Participants will enjoy not only extensive and interactive coverage of significant topics in nanoscience and nanotechnology, but will also be offered a broad overview of instrumentation, techniques and facilities essential to complement classroom lectures.

Registration for members of ASME, other professional societies, academia and government will be $1,595; for all others, registration will be $1,995. Student registration will be $595.

Companies that are interested in displaying products or showcasing nano-related services can participate in the company showcase. For details, contact the ASME Nano Institute at (212) 591-7789.
