The deadline for the conference is June 15, 2015. Here’s more from a June 6, 2015 nanoHUB announcement,

Conference Description: The nanoHUB User Conference brings together users from research, education, and industry to network and learn from each other as well as from the nanoHUB team. Join us this year at Purdue University and hear from experienced users how nanoHUB is integrated into their research/classrooms, discover how nanoHUB is used in projects, and learn how to apply this information through a series of workshops offered by nanoHUB experts.

Abstract submission deadline is June 15th, 2015. *The deadline has been extend to Monday, June 22, 2105.* Additional information and instructions can be found here.

The conference will be held August 31st – September 1st, 2015, at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA.

For anyone who read this out of curiosity, here’s a brief description of nanoHUB from the website’s About Us webpage,

What is nanoHUB.org?

nanoHUB.org is the premier place for computational nanotechnology research, education, and collaboration. Our site hosts a rapidly growing collection of Simulation Programs for nanoscale phenomena that run in the cloud and are accessible through a web browser. In addition to simulation devices, nanoHUB provides Online Presentations, Courses, Learning Modules, Podcasts, Animations, Teaching Materials, and more. These resources help users learn about our simulation programs and about nanotechnology in general. Our site offers researchers a venue to explore, collaborate, and publish content, as well. Much of these collaborative efforts occur via Workspaces and User groups.

Authors of content published on nanoHUB.org represent a broad and growing cross-section of the nanotechnology community. Their work impacts industry, education, and governmental organizations around the world, as shown by the animated user location map below. The majority of nanoHUB users are affiliated with academic institutions, while other individuals are part of government and industry groups. nanoHUB makes public detailed usage analysis for the site with a degree of transparency uncommon among other sites.

nanoHUB content has been cited over 1,100 times in the scientific literature. These papers collectively have an h-index of 57, and the majority of them are by authors not affiliated with the Network for Computational Nanotechnology, the project that produces nanoHUB. Through automated assessment of user behavior, we have identified over 1100 clusters at 185 institutions using nanoHUB tools in the classroom. nanoHUB annual uptime regularly exceeds 99 percent.

Getting back to the call, good luck to everyone who makes a submission.

*Deadline extension updated added June 15, 2015.
