We are excited to announce the new and improved TryNano website.

TryNano.org offers broad and updated resources for those interested in exploring or participating in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) supports this initiative and maintains these resources to encourage professionals, students, and others to be informed about the latest research, trends, and educational opportunities.

We are working continuously in making the TryNano website an important tool in our community. Now that Phase 1 of the website redesign has been deployed, we are working diligently on Phase 2. Feel free to send us your feedback by contacting the VP Education, John Yeow.

DL Nominations are due 15 October 2020

More Information

The IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) is seeking nominations for distinguished lecturers. Nominations are due 15 October 2020. The NTC has created a distinguished lecturers program to enhance the visibility of NTC among nanotechnology societies. The NTC Distinguished Lecturers are appointed to honor excellent speakers who have made technical, industrial or entrepreneurial contributions of high quality to the field of nanotechnology and science, and to enhance the technical programs of the Nanotechnology Council chapters and conferences. Consideration is given to having a well-balanced variety of speakers who can address a wide range of topics of current interest in the fields covered by the Society.

The term for the Lecturers is from 1 January until 31 December of 2021. The Lecturers serve for a one year term and may be reappointed for one additional year with the approval of the NTC Distinguished Lecturer Committee. A budget will be provided to each Lecturer to give lectures for NTC Chapters and NTC Conferences based on the availability of funding through the NTC. DLs are expected to give a minimum of 2 lectures per year as part of their commitment to serve.

Candidates for DLs may be nominated by any current IEEE member, using the IEEE NTC Distinguished Lecturer Nomination Form. Self-nomination is not accepted. Endorsements are not required but are recommended.

The selection of distinguished lectures will be made by the Distinguished Lecturer Committee, a subcommittee of the Education Committee chaired by the VP Educational Activities, and approved by the NTC ExCom.

Please submit the nomination by midnight (US Pacific Time) on 15 October 2020, via email to the VP Educational Activities, John Yeow, or online using the form found on the website.

The IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) has appointed its Distinguished Lectures for 2019.

IEEE Student Branches, NTC or member Society Chapters and NTC and member Society Conferences can request NTC Distinguished Lecturers (based on availability of funding).  See the Distinguished Lecture Program page for information.
