NSEC NEWS HEADLINES

• Symposium: Safe Handling of Engineered Nanoscale Materials. Join the five DOE Nanoscale Science Research Centers and internationally recognized experts at a 2-1/2 day symposium covering hazards and best practices for the management of nanoscale materials in R&D settings. Argonne National Laboratory Argonne, Illinois July 7-9, 2008.
• NSF 07-590, a solicitation for proposals to establish a Center for the Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology, dated Sept. 13, 2007;
  http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2007/nsf07590/nsf07590.htm; This competition is being supported through a partnership among 6 NSF directorates and
  between NSF and EPA. Through this competition, NSF and EPA intend to award $25M for 5 years to create a Center that will conduct fundamental
  research and education on the implications of nanotechnology for the environment and living systems at all scales.)
