The ICPCNanoNet partnership is opening its doors for the first annual workshop of the ICPCNanoNet project at Prague Congress Centre in the Czech Republic on Monday 1st June 2009. The ICPCNanoNet Workshop 2009 will take place under the Czech EU Presidency and immediately before the highly profiled EuroNanoForum 2009 conference, happening at the same venue.
The workshop will focus on the results of the project´s first year, and will look ahead to the subsequent years. Seven guest speakers especially invited to this event will be highlighting specific nano-activities while stakeholders from all over the world will be able to follow the proceedings live via webcast. Attending the ICPCNanoNet Workshop 2009 is free of charge.
The ICPCNanoNet Workshop 2009 will facilitate the required insight into Nanoscientific and Nanotechnological activity in International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC) and present a new online networking platform to increase and intensify the number of collaborations between the EU and ICPC in the area of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
The workshop will also provide the opportunity to:
- Discuss your views with a panel of distinguished guest speakers from the EU and ICPC, including Dr. Gerd Bachmann (D), Dr. Kamal Hossain (UK), Dr. Zoran Petrovic (SRB), Dr. Saeed Sarkar (IR), Prof. Cecilia Noguez (MEX), Dr. Izeddine Zorkani (MA), and Prof. M. Maaza (SA).
- Discuss potential collaborations with organisations and researchers in similar fields.
- Disseminate posters, brochures, and other material on ongoing nano-activities.
- Follow proceedings online through a webcast, which will allow remote users to view presentations and be part of discussions in real-time.
- Join delegates from the ICPCNanoNet partnership, including the Institute of Nanotechnology (UK), St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University (RUS), Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (IND), Chinese Society of Micro-Nano Technology (PRC), Malsch TechnoValuation (NL), MERIT of Universiteit Maastricht (NL), and Sociedade Portuguesa de Inovação (PT).
