8. What topic(s) would you like addressed in the next meeting? |
-
Thin Films, Metallic, Oxide, polymeric, etc.
- I am an extra person for NATO, so I hesitate to speak about
contents. Personally, I would like to propose, “Materials
and Processings for Sustainable Societies”
- Formation of nanocyrstal powders and monocrystal whiskers
of noble metals under thermal destructrion of metal-organic
compounds in vacuum
- Biomaterials
- Biomaterials, composite materials, nanocomposites
- Thermal transport in micro and nanocomposite materials
- Nanostructures, nanobiostructures, nanomethods, applications
to alternative
energy sources ( fuel & solar cells) 2.Micro & nanofluidics:
mimetics from living organism to lab on chip and nanorobotics
3. Nanostructures and nanoinstruments, tools for terrorism
detection
- Inorganic nanowires
- Biomedical engineering, biopolymers
- Nanocomposites; biocomposites
- The present NATO meeting had pretty good coverage. Maybe
we should get more speakers, instead of having the same speaker
speak more than once.
- I know there was an ASI already this past year with biomaterials
that I wasn't able to attend - that is my field of research
so I guess a biomaterials meeting
would be my first choice. The topics for NATO-ASI in Antalya
were very interesting. The sessions were well planned and
the conference offered a great
combination of presentations/posters and extra-curricular
time to have extended discussions with other researcher
- Manufacturing of Nanocomposites
- Biotechnoology, MEMS, sensors, biomimetic robotics
- The number of talks on electrospinning may be increased
- Size effect in nanomaterials
- Molecular modeling of proteins
- Molecular recognition on nanostructured surfaces
- Bio-applications of plasma in nanotechnology
- Carbon-based materials
- Synthesis and Characterization of Nano-Carbon Materials
- Biomedical applications biocatalysis
- Nanotechnology and new physics
- Functional nanostructured materials
- Biomaterials, nanomaterials
- Polymers, nano fibers
- Applications of carbon for biomedical technologies
- Hydrogen storage on carbon nanotubes, hydrogen storage on
metal hydrides
- Nanomaterials and nanotechnology in the broader sense than
carbon nanotubes.
We must ensure that other materials receive sufficient attention.
- Drug delivery using nanostructures
- Filamentous Nanostructures from different materials
- In nanotechnology, but the topics should cover more aspect
- Size effect on material properties manufacturing of nano
devices
- Synthesizing nano-sized particles and fibers for multifunctional
materials

9. What social activities would you like to see available at the next meeting? |
-
Any group sports
- What what available was pretty good. More of the same
- More boat tours
- The social activities were O.K.
- I have no idea
- Some more excursions
- Seeing historical places, boat trip
- Afternoon excursion with family members
- City tours and any activities that involve the whole attendees
of the conference, such as sports
- The social activities for the NATO-ASI in Antalya were great.
Some weren't organized until the day of the trip but that
gave the organizers
a way to gauge what the participants would be interested in
- what kind of activates they would like to do that day
- Anything historical or water related (scuba, snorkeling,
boat tour)
- No propositions
- Anything with Baybars
- More sightseeing
- More group tours and outings
- Similar
- An excursion with all participants
- More cocktails/ more frequent opportunities to get to know
each other
- More shopping
- Visiting museums, dancing, excursions
- Gala dinner, party on the beach, something like that--
- 1-2 excursions with all the participants (together)
- I think the social activities should be held in such as
way that attendees may interact outside of the ASI venue so
that they
may have good memories from the ASI besides the fruitful scientific
discussions.

10. What did you most enjoy? |
-
Everything
- Excursions, visiting historical and cultural places
- High level of conference and excellent organization
- The boat tour, definitely!!!!
- It was very nice that we were attending to the conferences
in the morning and at noon, it was swimming time.
Then again conferences.
Such a conference that you both enjoy your vacation and academic
knowledge.
- Friendship and social relations among the participants.
- Round table and key lectures
- Friendships, scientific program and dance show
- The weather and seaside and location (lot to see around
Antalya) friendly people
- Boat trip!
- Meeting with different researchers from different countries
- First of all the conference and the meeting new people.
- Key note lectures
- Having not traveled to Turkey before the NATO-ASI in Antalya,
I think the setting was my
favorite part. Having the conference a resort so close to
so much of Turkey's history and
national parks was a good decision.
- Everything!
- The opportunity to interact with scientists in a non-formal
setting
- Talks with experts and sea.
- The warm environment where I met many new people and started
new research collaborations
- Conference program and discussion
- Traditional Events
- Good scientific presentations and open discussions, the
informal and friendly atmosphere, very nice sea location,
interesting excursions
- It was very nice combination of excellent scientific discussions
and beautiful beach, historical places, etc.
- Travel excursions
- The discussion hour about the hazards and uses of nanotechnology
- The excellent communication between people and the possibility
to establish possible co-operation
- Social activities and poster sessions
- Dinner/cocktails/poster sessions
- The beautiful country
- The boat trip to Keova
- The stimulating spirit and exceptionally friendly atmosphere.
Felt like being with good old (and young) friends.
- Establishing new contacts with good scientists and nice
people worldwide.
- All the talks, trip to Aspendos
- Quite interesting program and the possibility of close contact
between people.
- Meeting with scientists from different countries
- The sea |

11. What, if anything, would you change at the next meeting? |
-
A Free weekend
- Payment for air flight tickets for participants from countries-former
soviet union
- The organization of the lectures, I mean, the lectures may
be designed from the very basic concepts to the advanced ones,
in terms of date
- A larger place for poster presentation and some more time
(10 minutes) for poster presentations would be more adequate
in my opinion.
- It was O.K maybe some free excursion or at least not so
overpriced one (the same trip I did three time cheaper)
- The poster session should be changed. There should be a
certain specification of the size of the poster. Many people
just
printed one or two slides and presented it, with not much
to say. Some were not even available during the poster session
for
answering the questions.
- Nothing - I thought the professor / graduate student ratio
was good and the discussions were given enough time after
the talks - something that. You don't have at many conferences
when the talk is 12 minutes and the discussion is only 2 minutes.
- I think except the hotel, everything in the meeting was
near to perfect. For the next meetings only the improvements
are needed.
- A bit more time for poster presenters to speak. Better internet
connection.
- More time for poster sessions and discussion.
- More time for roundtable discussions
- There should be more discussions than seminars since I believe
science progresses
- The individuals selected for lectures must be better selected,
In Antalya, a lot of lectures from Ukraine and Russia
did not prepare an adequate presentation (the themes were
interesting, but the presentation…???)
- More opportunities such as cocktails and group dinners to
get to know the participants
- More local, authentic food
- I’d like more time for the beach and for sightseeing
- Better access to the internet would be helpful
- More “hot” topics should be included in the
program
- The hotel

12. Any additional comments? |
-
I am grateful
- All was ok
- There was some small defects in the organization, such as,
before the conference started, it was announced first that
we would
make a 'small' presentation before the first poster session.
Then the day before the poster session, it was announced by
Mr. Frank Ko that the presentations would be 2-3 minutes.
Then I prepared a 3 minutes presentation and on the poster
session day, just before the presentations, Mr. Ko said it
would be 2 minutes. Consequently, I could not complete my
presentation in 2 minutes and I could not manage it under
the stress of the gong sound. It may seem an unimportant point
to
you but be sure that it was extremely significant, and unpleasant
situation for me.
- The meeting was excellent scientifically and socially.
- I hope you enjoyed too!
- The conference was well organized. Thank you.
- Excellent job to all the organizers
- How about introducing some awards for the best poster/presentations
for students presenting their work.
That would really attract many students to present their work.
- Thanks to the organizers!!!!!
- Guceri organized an excellent meeting!
- The conference was a wonderful experience.
- The organizing staff were very friendly and approachable.
I must also thank Star tours for their service.
- Thanks for all your efforts. I wish I can see such kind
of scientific experts more in Turkey.
- Great job was done by the whole Drexel team
- In the meeting the emphasis was only to the technological
side. The theoretical side should not be forgotten.
And again there must be hours and hours of discussion.
- I liked Turkey, but I would like to have a look at other
countries too!
- Enormous thanks to the organizers, both scientific and administrative
staff.
- I would like to thank the organizing committee for putting
such a wonderful and solid scientific
program and giving us the opportunity to meet new people from
other backgrounds.
