Student Support for EIPBN 2017 Conference
This is to request support, in the amount $5,000, to
enable students to attend the 61st International Conference on Electron, Ion
and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication (EIPBN) 2017, to be held at the
Disney Coronado Resort in Orlando, FL, May 30 to June 2, 2017. The EIPBN
Conference is recognized as the foremost international meeting dedicated to
lithographic science and technology and its application to micro and
nanofabrication techniques. The conference brings together engineers and
scientists from industries and universities from all over the world to discuss
recent progress and future trends. Among the emerging technologies that are
within the scope of EIPBN is Nanofabrication for Energy Sources along with
nanofabrication for the realization of low power integrated circuits. There
will be three days of technical presentations at this year’s conference in
Pittsburgh starting with a plenary session and poster session and followed by
30 sessions (grouped in 10 sets of 3 parallel sessions). The conference
averages over 400 submitted abstracts from more than 20 countries.
Papers presented at the 2017 conference that pass peer
review will be published in the Nov./Dec.
2017 issue of the Journal of Vacuum Science and
Technology B. Every year, EIPBN provides financial support for students to
attend the conference. The steering committee and attendees view students as
the lifeblood of the conference, in that they both provide a fresh and exciting
perspective, and also become the future scientists attending the conference in
the future on a regular basis. This support provides for their travel to the conference
and usually comes from a mixture of government agencies and private donors. The
The DOE funds received by the conference will provide air travel expenses for
12 students. Although student support will be provided to overseas students as
well, DOE funds will only be distributed to students attending American
universities. All students who receive travel aid present papers at the
conference and all assist in managing the A/V requirements during technical
sessions.
