Workshops

Researchers can interact via online networking tools, including online workshops  and a  discussion forum.

Researchers can also share their research results with the international community through the Nano Archive, or emailing news items  (to be presented on our partner site, www.nanoforum.org).


Online Workshops

Webinars on Nanotechnology for a Knowledge Society in Emerging Economies and Developing Countries

Dates: 2 September 2010 13.00-15.00 GMT (15.00-17.00 Continental European Summer Time) and 7 September 2010 8.45-10.45 GMT (10.45-12.45 Continental European Summer Time) 

Join the online debate on contributions nanotechnology may make to a knowledge society in developing countries and emerging economies from your own office with experts on Nanotechnology and Society in the Netherlands, Brazil, South Africa and India. The webinars offer a platform for information exchange on good practices and proposals for international cooperation among governments of the Netherlands, the EU and International Cooperation Partner Countries of the EU (developing countries and emerging economies).

Annual Workshops

In addition, annual workshops will be organized in each of the EU, China, India and Russia.  These will be themed around research areas of synergy between EU and ICPC researchers in that particular country and surrounding states (such as nanotechnologies for clean water, the environment, energy, and health), and will be webcast to allow wider participation.
