Spanish Molecular Electronics Symposium (SMS2006)
24 March 2006
Spain
The evnt will take place at the DIPC located at the Basque Country University campus, in San Sebastian, Spain on March 24, 2006.
Nanoelectronics represent a strategic technology considering the wide range of possible applications. These include telecommunications, automotive, multimedia, consumer goods and medical systems
Many of the potential molecular electronic applications still require substantial work in order to be transformed into marketable technology. A concerted effort must therefore be made at the European level to both understand and commercialise atomic scale technology in order to maintain a competitive advantage for Europe and keep Europe at the forefront of the next nanoelectronics revolution, a revolution beyond nanotechnology.
In order for the field of molecular electronic to continue growing exponentially worldwide and therefore lead to new commercial applications and to change the micro and nanoelectronics paradigm, it is necessary to educate new researchers who can work across traditional disciplines. High-level dissemination activities such as SMS2006 will help to establish a critical mass of R&D at a European level and to stimulate development of an interdisciplinary community of researchers.
During this event, 12 European high-level speakers will present latest advances in this emerging field. To enhance participation, registration will be free of charge.
The following Institutions are sponsoring the event:
Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), CIDETEC, POLYMAT, the ‘Materials + Technologies’ Group (GMT) at Polytechnic School of the University of the Basque Country, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
About Phantoms Foundation: The Phantoms Foundation (non-profit organisation) was established on November 26, 2002 (in Madrid, Spain) in order to provide high level Management profile to National and European scientific projects. This institution focuses its activities on Nanotechnology and Emerging Nanoelectronics and is now a key actor in structuring and fostering European Excellence and enhancing collaborations in these fields / http://www.phantomsnet.net(opens in new window)
About DIPC: The DIPC was created in 1999 as an intellectual centre whose main aim is to promote and catalyse the development of basic research in condensed matter physics and material science in the Basque Country and Spain. Since its creation, the DIPC has been an open institution, linked to the University of the Basque Country, serving as a platform for the internationalisation of basic science in the Basque Country / http://www.dipc.es(opens in new window)
About CIDETEC: The Centre for Electrochemical Technologies (CIDETEC) was created in 1997 as a non-profit Foundation whose mission is to serve both the industrial sectors related to electrochemistry and the Administration and society in general, its core activity being the field of applied research / http://www.cidetec.es(opens in new window)
About POLYMAT: POLYMAT is a research and technology organization that provides comprehensive research services to polymer-related industries. Our interdisciplinary research covers polymer synthesis, on-line monitoring and process control, rheology, polymer processing, material testing and products development. Industries working in the rapidly evolving polymer field share the need of a continuous improvement of products and processes to increase their competitiveness. Technical expertise, continuous research and well-equipped laboratories make POLYMAT the ideal partner for these companies/

About ‘Materials + Technologies’ Group (GMT): The GMT, created in 1988, linked to the Polytechnic School of the University of the Basque Country, is currently oriented to applied research in the field of nanostructured materials. The focus is on the use the concepts of self-assembling and nanoparticle functionalization to achieve new applications in several industrial sectors / http://www.ehu.es/GMT(opens in new window)
About CSIC: The “Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas” created in 1939 is the largest public research body in Spain, covering fields of knowledge, from basic research through to advanced technological development / http://www.csic.es(opens in new window)
About UPV-EHU: The “Universidad del País Vasco” (UPV/EHU) is the public university of the autonomous community of the Basque Country. The UPV/EHU is an autonomous institution financially supported by the Basque Government. Founded in 1968 as "Universidad de Bilbao", it was reorganised under the present name in 1980. This meant the incorporation of Higher Education Colleges and Schools of the Araba and Gipuzkoa provinces / http://www.ehu.es(opens in new window)
