National Nanotechnology Initiative Meetings

ACTION: Notice of public meetings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), on 
behalf of the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) 
Subcommittee of the Committee on Technology, National Science and 
Technology Council (NSTC), will facilitate stakeholder discussions of 
targeted nanotechnology topics through workshops and webinars, as well 
as community of community of research and network meetings between the 
publication date of this Notice and December 31, 2022.

DATES: The NNCO will hold one or more workshops and webinars, as well 
as community of research and network meetings between the publication 
date of this Notice and December 31, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Event information, including addresses, will be posted on 
nano.gov. For information about upcoming workshops and webinars, please 
visit https://www.nano.gov/resources/research-community/meetings-and-events and https://www.nano.gov/PublicWebinars. For more information on 
the networks and communities of research, please visit https://www.nano.gov/resources/research-community/networks-and-communities.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information regarding this Notice, 
please contact Patrice Pages at [email protected] or 202-517-1041.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These public meetings address the charge in 
the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act for NNCO 
to provide ``for public input and outreach . . . by the convening of 
regular and ongoing public discussions.'' Workshop and webinar topics 
may include technical subjects; environmental, health, and safety 
issues related to nanomaterials (nanoEHS); business case studies; or 
other areas of potential interest to the nanotechnology community. 
Areas of focus for the communities of research may include research on 
nanoEHS; nanotechnology education; nanomedicine; nanomanufacturing; or 
other areas of potential interest to the nanotechnology community. The 
communities of research are not intended to provide any government 
agency with advice or recommendations; such action is outside of their 
purview.
    Registration: Due to space limitations, pre-registration for 
workshops is required. Workshop registration is on a first-come, first-
served basis. Registration information will be available at https://www.nano.gov/resources/research-community/meetings-and-events. 
Registration for the webinars will open approximately two weeks prior 
to each event and will be capped at 500 participants or as space 
limitations dictate. Individuals planning to attend a webinar can find 
registration information at https://www.nano.gov/PublicWebinars. 
Written notices of participation for workshops, webinars, networks, or 
communities of research should be sent by email to [email protected].
    Meeting Accommodations: Individuals requiring special accommodation 
to access any of these
