The ICPC Nanonet Project will host its 4th and final Annual Workshop in Goa, India on 2nd-4th April 2012. Organised by Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore, this workshop will focus on Nanotechnology for Water, Energy and the Environment. The event will bring together experts from the EU and each of the eight ICPC regions: Africa, Caribbean, Pacific, Asia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Latin America, Mediterranean Partner Countries, and the Western Balkan Countries.
The workshop will enable delegates to find out about the latest developments in these fields from regional experts as well as an in depth insight into ethical issues. The event will also allow for further dissemination of highly innovative nano research projects. Through poster presentations and networking sessions, the event offers opportunities to increase and intensify the number of collaborations world wide in N&N areas.
For those who cannot attend in person, the workshop will be webcast live to a large number of online participants across the globe, allowing them to present questions to the various speakers as well as interact with each other. Registration and participation are free. If global time differences make it difficult for you to participate online, register now for one of our limited edition DVDs which will have all the presentations and posters for you to browse through. DVDs are free on a first come, first serve basis.
As the guest of the African Materials Research Society and NanoSciences Africa Network (NanoAfNet), the Institute of Nanotechnology (UK) has had an invaluable opportunity to gain substantial insight into the latest developments in materials research and applications in Africa. During a dynamic ten-day visit, the Institute was able to gather vital data for the forthcoming region report on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Africa, one of eight region reports to be published online in March as part of the ICPC Nanonet Project.
