Webinars on Nanotechnology for a Knowledge Society in Emerging Economies and Developing Countries
An invitation to a series of two unique free online events:
Dates Session 1: 2 September 2010 13.00-15.00 GMT (15.00-17.00 Continental European Summer Time) Session 2: 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).
Ineke Malsch (Malsch TechnoValuation, The Netherlands)
The webinars take place in the framework of the Nanorecht & Vrede project supported by Nanopodium www.nanopodium.nl and ICPC-NanoNet www.icpc-nanonet.org. The outcome of the workshop will be reported to the Dutch Commission for the Societal Dialogue on Nanotechnology who is currently organising a public dialogue on nanotechnology in the Netherlands. Language: English. Requirements: PC/laptop with broadband internet connection and headset or speakers.
For more information contact the organiser Ineke Malsch Workshop participants must be registered users of ICPC-Nanonet (www.icpc-nanonet.org).
Registration is free.
