Where are today's opportunities for major technological advances? The
Advanced Technology Program will explore this question with industry for a
diversity of key technology areas in a series of workshops at its fall
meeting in Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 17-18, 1998.
http://www.atp.nist.gov/fallmeeting

Participants will hear tips on writing effective proposals, help develop
future ATP research programs, learn "best practices" for networking and
building R&D alliances, get the latest news on the ATP and attend workshops
in key technology areas. Among the technology areas to be discussed are
manufacturing, the electronics industry and materials science. Other
presentations will examine the lessons learned from studies of the ATP and
explore strategies for moving ATP research results into the market or for
cracking export markets.
