The U.S. Government’s Consortia on Enhancing Interoperability of NanoEHS Data

Invited Co-Chair for the National Nanotechnology Initiative's  Nanoinformatics Conference, November 15, 2023, (Immediately preceding the 2023 U.S.-EU NanoEHS CORs meeting, November 16–17). Presentation on The U.S. Government’s Consortia on Enhancing Interoperability of NanoEHS Data

Impact/Purpose

The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), on behalf of the U.S. Government’s National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), invites you to participate in the NNI’s Nanoinformatics Conference. Nanoinformatics, the organization, processing, and communication of nanoscale data, is an important subset of informatics science. The NNI has organized this Nanoinformatics Conference to support greater interdisciplinary and international connections within the informatics community. While significant NNI efforts have been focused on environmental, health, and safety (nanoEHS) data, nanoinformatics has broader impacts, advancing materials discovery, optimizing fabrication techniques, and facilitating applications in fields as diverse as biomedicine, microelectronics, and environmental sustainability, among others. The conference will highlight some of the lessons learned, as well as opportunities and challenges for leveraging data across multiple scales and disciplines. The NNI anticipates that the techniques, tools, and approaches to address the complexity of nanoscale data may provide breakthrough perspectives and new collaborations to tackle pressing environmental and societal challenges. The Nanoinformatics Conference precedes the annual workshop of the NanoEHS CORs. This workshop will provide an opportunity for the vibrant nanosafety research community to share perspectives on emerging research trends and to connect to efforts beyond the United States and the European Union. The public is invited to attend this two-day workshop. Topics at both the conference and the workshop will complement the NNI’s efforts to update its 2011 EHS Research Strategy. Register for the U.S.-EU NanoEHS CORs Workshop here.
