    Ad-hoc NeSSI Session: Tomorrow (Thursday) Night at 5:00 PM

Room 1A, Topics:

• how can NeSSI expose and promote the new generation micro-analytical sensors to the PA community (PAC)
• how to provide guidance from the PAC in terms of needs
• coordinate/facilitate new funding mechanisms for commercialization
•  is there a role for a an Industry Group to perform the above roles
• DoE Proposal Feedback/Invitation to Participate
