Nano & Giga forum network is issuing two important announcements:

• Leading international journals, Nanotechnology (IOP Publishing, UK) and Solid State Electronics (Elsevier, Netherlands), have published the special issues, which present invited and selected papers from NGC2007 Symposium hosted by Arizona State University (March 12-16, 2007, Phoenix, Arizona, USA)
   
  
• The next Nano & Giga Challenges Symposium and Summer School (NGC2009) will hosted by McMaster University (August 10-14, 2009, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) as a joint meeting with the 14th Canadian Semiconductor Technology Conference (CSTC2009)
   
  

The Nano and Giga Challenges (NGC) conference series was launched as a truly interdisciplinary forum to bridge scientists and engineers to work across boundaries in design of future information technology from atoms to materials and devices and ultimately to system architecture. Following three successful meetings in Moscow, Russia (NGCM2002), Krakow, Poland (NGCM2004) and Phoenix, AZ, USA (NGC2007) the 4th NGC Symposium and Summer School (NGc2209) will be held August 10-14, 2009 in Hamilton, ON, Canada as a joint meeting with the 14th Canadian Semiconductor Technology Conference (CSTC2009) hosted by McMaster University. The NGC2009 & CSTC2009 meeting topics will include advanced research and future technology development in nanoelectronics, photonics and renewable energy - solar energy systems, fuel cells and batteries. The meeting will provide a stimulating environment for active networking and information exchange by bridging leaders and young researchers in information technology and energy system design at the nanoscale level. The meeting will also include technology-business interface sessions to assist scientists, engineers, and industry leaders in development of entrepreneurial ventures based on disruptive nanotechnology innovations. International researchers, managers and investors are invited to explore scientific collaboration and business opportunities in Canada. Sponsors are welcome!

Nano & Giga Forums provide outstanding networking opportunities and leave a long term legacy based on their peer reviewed publications in leading international journals and tutorial books . The Nanotechnology (IOP Publishing, UK ) and Solid State Electronics (Elsevier, Netherlands) journals have published the special issues, which include selected papers from the NGC2007 Symposium as well as original and novel scientific contributions of invited world-renown researchers. These issues address theoretical and experimental achievements in the fields of advanced and future CMOS technology, photonics, molecular and bioelectronics, chemical and biosensors and novel nanostructures.
