2005

Nanoelectronics Research Initiative (NRI) is launched to discover scalable information technologies beyond the limits of charge-based devices.

Highlights

  • The progress in initiating NRI is remarkable; six cooperative projects with existing National Science Foundation (NSF) Nanoscience Centers and the first NRI multi-university center — the Western Institute for Nanoelectronics (WIN), headquartered at UCLA in partnership with the state of California — are created.
  • The SRC Board of Directors creates a new award, the SRC Faculty Leadership Award, to recognize leadership exhibited in management of a large, dispersed, SRC-sponsored research program requiring collaboration among multiple universities and faculty from multiple disciplines.
  • SRC funds research at 107 universities, including 26 institutions outside the United States.
  • TECHCON 2005 is held in Portland, Oregon; the event draws 442 participants, including 158 student presenters.
  • Nearly 1,000 students participate in SRC-funded research; over 500 participate in MARCO/FCRP-funded research. Of SRC students graduating in 2005, 66% went to work for SRC member organizations or are undergraduate or master’s students continuing to advanced degrees.
  • A Student Handbook is published on the SRC and MARCO websites to help students better understand how to interact with SRC and MARCO and to take advantage of available opportunities.
