The National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure is hosting their Annual Winter School on Responsible Innovation and Social Studies of Emerging Technologies at Saguaro Lake Ranch in Mesa, Arizona. The organizers are offering scholarships for advanced graduate students or recent PhDs and will cover travel from Phoenix Arizona and all fees, board and lodging.

The Winter School is designed to give junior scholars an introduction to and practical experience with methods and theory for better understanding the social dimensions of emerging technologies.
