Training course on nanostructured materials for advanced membrane processes

Objective

Major efforts are deployed by the international scientific community to reach a high knowledge and control of the nanostructured material functions and processes. In Europe, leading research organisations have joined their potential in the NanoMemPro Network of Excellence, and have demonstrated the need to focus European research in modelling synthesis, characterisation of the nanostructured materials under the form of membranes aiming at various kinds of applications, notably for a faster taking-up of the results by the industry. The NanoMemCourse project aims at training young researchers on these topics, at strengthening the links between science and industry and at setting up the basis of a truly European community of those scientists who will work together in the future. This should lead to a significant step forward in the structuring of the European research in the nanostructured material field.

The project is based on a series of five training courses organised by six scientific partners, members of the NoE, on nanostructured material fundamentals and on three major applications for the future: energy, health and food. The objective is to have 300 young researchers from different EU Member and Associated States trained by more than 80 leading scientists and industrial personalities from Europe and overseas. The training method based on alternated lectures, conferences and practical courses, with hands-on materials, processes and analytical tools, and in situ observation of field cases, will offer a coherent series of topics from fundamental research to technology and industrial applications, including complementary skills such as knowledge management and technology transfer. What makes this course special is also the proposed sessions on the worldwide situation of each topic, the young researchers¿ forum, and the synchronisation of the national research programmes.
