More About IYL 2015
On 20 December 2013, The United Nations (UN) General Assembly 68th Session proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and
Light-based Technologies.
This International Year has been the initiative of a large consortium of scientific bodies together with UNESCO, and will bring together many
different stakeholders including scientific societies and unions, educational institutions, technology platforms, non-profit organizations and
private sector partners.
In proclaiming an International Year focusing on the topic of light science and its applications, the United Nations has recognized the
importance of raising global awareness about how light-based technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to global
challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and is an imperative cross-cutting discipline
of science in the 21st century. It has revolutionized medicine, opened up international communication via the Internet, and continues to be
central to linking cultural, economic and political aspects of the global society.

GRANTS TO PROMOTE SCIENCE EDUCATION IN THE
NEW ORLEANS AREA
Grants of up to $1,000 are available to every school with
an enrollment of over 200 students that sends one or
more teachers to a teacher workshop (limit one grant
per school).
These grants will enable teachers to purchase
equipment demonstrated in the workshops or other
science-related equipment of their choice. All
equipment will be shipped directly to the teachers
at their school address.
The Pittcon 2015 Science Week programs offer a wide
variety of educational activities during Conference Week
for the benefit of students and teachers in elementary,
middle, and high schools in New Orleans and the
surrounding area. These activities are provided as part
of our mission to promote science awareness and

2016 PITTSBURGH CONFERENCE MEMORIAL NATIONAL COLLEGE GRANTS PROGRAM
The Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, Inc.
(a Pennsylvania non-profit Corporation) and its co-sponsoring technical societies,
The Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP) and The Spectroscopy
Society of Pittsburgh (SSP), proudly announce the 2016 Pittsburgh Conference
Memorial National College Grants (PCMNCG) Program.
Grants will be awarded to small college science departments for the purchase of
scientific equipment, audio-visual or other teaching aids, and/or library materials
for use in the teaching of science at the undergraduate level.
Based on anticipated funds, we expect that at least ten colleges will be selected to
receive grants. The amount requested in each proposal may not exceed $10,000.
To be eligible for an award, schools must meet the following criteria.
1. Enrollment must not exceed 5,000 full-time students.
2. No more than 25% of the operating budget, which does not include student
financial aid, may come from national or state governments. Two-year
community colleges sponsored by political subdivisions of a state are not
bound by criteria one and two.
3. Requests for materials to be used only for research purposes will
not be funded.
4. Awards may be used as part of “Matching Grant” programs; use of matching
funds to increase the overall impact of the grant will be considered in the
evaluation of proposals and is highly encouraged.
5. Schools are ineligible for the PCMNCG program for a three-year period
following receipt of the PCMNCG grant (award recipients from 2013, 2014,
and 2015 are not eligible for the 2016 program).
Faculty members are urged to participate in the 2016 Pittsburgh Conference
Memorial National College Grants Program by obtaining an application form from
our website at www.pittcon.org (select the College Grants link) and submitting it
along with your proposal via email by October 1, 2015 to:
pcmncg@pittcon.org
Award winners will be announced by February 16, 2016. Selected schools will join
the list of over 200 institutions honored since the start of this program in 1974.

(Mixer to immediately follow the lecture.)
Metallic nanoparticles, used since antiquity to impart intense and vibrant color into materials, have more recently
become a central tool in the nanoscale manipulation of light across a range of chemical sciences and engineering
applications. This interest has led to a virtual explosion of new types of metal-based nanoparticles and nanostructures
of various shapes and compositions, and has given rise to new strategies to harvest, control, and manipulate light based
on these structures and their properties. By assembling metallic nanoparticles into useful building blocks, a striking
parallel between the plasmons of these structures and wave functions of simple quantum systems is universally
observed. 1 Clusters of metallic nanoparticles behave like coupled oscillators or antennas, introducing effects
characteristic of systems as diverse as radio frequency transmitters and coupled pendulums into light-driven nanoscale
structures. 2 Their unique light-controlling properties can be put to use in a multitude of ways: for detecting single
molecules and following chemical reactions, for generation of hot electrons for color-specific photodetection3 and
photocatalysis,4 and most recently, for high-efficiency solar steam generation poised to tackle our planet’s energy and
sustainability challenges.5

More About IYL 2015
On 20 December 2013, The United Nations (UN) General Assembly 68th Session proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and
Light-based Technologies.
This International Year has been the initiative of a large consortium of scientific bodies together with UNESCO, and will bring together many
different stakeholders including scientific societies and unions, educational institutions, technology platforms, non-profit organizations and
private sector partners.
In proclaiming an International Year focusing on the topic of light science and its applications, the United Nations has recognized the
importance of raising global awareness about how light-based technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to global
challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and is an imperative cross-cutting discipline
of science in the 21st century. It has revolutionized medicine, opened up international communication via the Internet, and continues to be
central to linking cultural, economic and political aspects of the global society.
