In brief: Date: Monday 1st June 2009 Venue: Prague Congress centre, 5. Kvetna 65, 140 21 Prague 4, Czech Republic Online attendance: Available through webcast The ICPCNanoNet partnership opened 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 took place under the Czech EU Presidency and immediately before the highly profiled EuroNanoForum 2009 conference, happening at the same venue.
The workshop focused on the results of the project´s first year, and looked ahead to the subsequent years. Seven guest speakers especially invited to this event highlighted specific nano-activities while stakeholders from all over the world were able to follow the proceedings live via webcast. The ICPCNanoNet Workshop 2009 facilitated the required insight into Nanoscientific and Nanotechnological activity in International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC) and presented 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 also provided the opportunity to:
• Discuss your views with a panel of distinguished guest speakers from the EU and ICPC (see programme below).
• Discuss potential collaborations with organisations and researchers in similar fields.
• Disseminate posters, brochures, and other material on ongoing nano-activities. Table and board space for this purpose can be reserved in advance when registering.
• Follow proceedings online through a webcast, which will allow remote users to view presentations and be part of discussions in real-time. Further details on webcast to follow.
• 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).
