Macro-European forum on nanosciences and nanotechnology: from basis to applications

Objective

The "nano" field encompasses scientific investigations and experimental processes relevant to structures and objects with at least one dimension much smaller than micrometers in size, down to single living cells, molecules, and atoms.

It reveals a major interdisciplinary trend that clearly ranges from far upstream in physics, computation and biology, where the manipulation of single entities or of small collections of atoms is often referred to as nanosciences, to industry, where the continuing trend towards miniaturization is bringing down processes developed for microelectronics to the nanoscale, a domain referred to as nanotechnology.

Nowadays, nanoscience technology is hardly taught in academic courses at universities and textbooks on the subject are still rare. A knowledge transfer from scientists currently engaged in the field towards younger ones is thus essential. The forum "NanoSciencesTech" is a coherent series of four schools and one conference in the field of nanosciences and nanotechnologies.

The domains have been selected among those strongly impacted by the nanofield: condensed matter, optics and biology. The specific hot topics addressed by "NanoSciencesTech" are Nanophotonics, Self-organized Nanostructures, Nanomagnetism and Spintronics, Nanotubes, and Nanobio-Objects.

We expect an attendance of about 400 young researchers from Europe and third countries. A coherent training will be provided by talented academic and industrial lecturers going from the basics in each field to the latest fundamental breakthroughs and most promising applications.

In addition, dedicated sessions in the events will address intersections with the other schools and fields. For example, the bases of nano-instruments for probing nano-objects, nano-fabrication tools or computational nanoscience, will be addressed in a coordinated way by the various events.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
