As part of the Chicago Section, the NTC Chapter provides a local interface to the worldwide network of the IEEE.

The NTC Chapter provides a forum for leading researchers, students and companies to discuss their work, as well as presents networking opportunities. Planned activities include technical presentations, lectures, webinars and tours of local nanotechnology research facilities and hubs. In addition, the NTC Chapter organizes an annual joint conference with the IEEE Magnetics Society Chicago chapter to present latest research areas, and promote local collaborations in the Chicago area. 

Joining the NTC community is straightforward and does not cost any additional fees. You can join the NTC community, visit the IEEE Memberships and Subscriptions Catalog and select one of the NTC choices. The help menu explains your options.
