LEADING U.S. AND ARGENTINE SCIENTISTS MEET AT NANOTECH WORKSHOP
March 16, 2009
"This exciting workshop on nanotechnology is a direct result of the joint statement on cooperation in nanotechnology we signed last year," said James Perez, the U.S. Embassy's Counselor for Science and Technology, as he was welcoming the participants to the U.S.-Argentine Workshop on Nanotecnology, Nanomat09, held March 15-17 at the Hotel Amancay in Bariloche. Mr. Perez was referring to the Joint Statement on Increasing Cooperation in Nanotechnology, signed on July 10, 2008 by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Tom Shannon and Argentina's Minister for Science, Technology and Productive Innovation Lino Barañao.
A dozen top-level scientists from prestigious research centers in the United States and more than twenty leading Argentine scientists holding two and half days of productive exchanges during the workshop. Nanomat09 provides a unique opportunity for these experts to get close to the cutting edge of nanomaterials and to meet with counterparts in the four major areas of Bio-nanotechnology, Functional Materials, Surfaces and Channels, and Inorganic Materials. It allows participants to exchange views and discuss the progress of research, and to strengthen cooperation and networking.
