Hillsborough Room, Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, CA

Thursday 25 January

MONA (Merging Optics and Nanotechnologies, www.ist-mona.org ) is a two-year action of the European Commission. The principal outcome of the MONA project will be a Roadmap for Nanophotonic Technologies. In this workshop you are invited to participate in the construction of this roadmap. There will first be presentations of nanophotonics roadmap progress from around the world. From these efforts some key areas for debate have been identified. You will be able to contribute by joining a work group to develop a response to one of these issues. The results of all working groups will be presented in the concluding part of the workshop.
