UGIM2014 Call for Presentations
 
The goal of this symposium is to bring together educators and researchers involved in micro/nanotechnology management around the world and to provide a forum for exchanging information and presenting new lab operations and educational concepts. Representatives of micro/nano fabrication facilities, ranging from new labs to nationally recognized facilities, have found this symposium an excellent forum for exchanging information. Industry/university interactions, including technology transfer, collaborative research, and training efforts are included.

Abstract Submission Deadline: 14 February 2014

Submission and Registration information at:  http://www.cns.fas.harvard.edu/UGIM2014/
