SUMMARY: The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), on 
behalf of the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) 
Subcommittee of the Committee on Technology, National Science and 
Technology Council (NSTC), will hold a workshop on July 13-14, 2010, to 
provide an open forum to obtain input from stakeholders regarding the 
goals and objectives of an updated U.S. National Nanotechnology 
Initiative (NNI) Strategic Plan that is currently under development and 
scheduled for completion by December 2010. Representatives of the U.S. 
research community, industry, non-governmental organizations, and 
interested members of the general public are invited to offer

drafting the new plan, which is an update of the December 2007 NNI 
Strategic Plan (see http://www.nano.gov/NNI_Strategic_Plan_2007.pdf). In particular, the agencies participating in the NNI are 
seeking input on the specific objectives that should be included in the 
updated plan under each of the overarching NNI goals, and on the most 
likely approaches for achieving those objectives.
