Building on its recognition as a global leader in nanotechnology education, research and development, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) is actively engaged in a host of innovative programs, events and activities designed to raise awareness of the power of nanotechnology to help address the most critical challenges facing society in the 21st century.
More than 25,000 individuals - including over 6,000 K-12 students - were involved in CNSE's outreach programming in 2008, including a wide variety of important stakeholders and partners: students, educators and parents; leaders in the technology, education, business, government and service sectors; and, community members from the Capital Region and across New York State. Given the growing interest and enthusiastic response, CNSE is committed to expanding that audience in 2009.
