International Workshop and School on Nanotechnology

The 4th NanoS-E3 International Workshop and School will bring together nanotechnology specialists to advance knowledge and research, focusing on sensors, electronics, energy and the environment. The three-dayworkshop will be preceded by a two-day school for PhD and masters students. The event will take place at the Coral Sea Resort, located at Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays.

The rapidly growing field of nanoscale science is widely recognised as a critical component of the world’s future economy. New advances are predicted to transform a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines.

This initiative, in partnership with the Italian and Australian governments will build on existing nanotechnology networks and foster new collaborations. In 2013, the workshop will also welcome scientists from France, Germany, Japan, Canada and the USA.
