Workshop on Nanosciences & Nanotechnology: From Smart Materials to Devices
Du 11 au 13 Octobre 2009
Autrans
l'Université du Texas à Austin
Context
The aim of the partnership between the University of Texas at Austin (UTA) and the University Joseph Fourier of Grenoble (UJF) is to develop strong and sustainable relationships in research on nanosciences and nanotechnology based on a shared program of doctoral studies. This program starts from the Master level and includes post-doctorate exchanges. The partnership includes cooperative education programs, bilateral research projects, and focused topical meetings.
Beyond the development of bilateral projects, it is important that scientific discussions involving a larger panel of experts can take place. The present partnership thus includes the organization of workshops to bring together specialists from both universities to present their advances and to elaborate further strategies for joint research projects. It is also a good opportunity for graduate students of the hosting university to enlarge their knowledge of the topics which are investigated.
Organizers
- Paul Barbara, University of Texas at Austin
- Jean-Claude Moutet, University Joseph Fourier
Sponsors
The Partner University Fund, the University Joseph Fourier, the Centre de Compétences C’Nano Rhône-Alpes, and the Fondation Nanosciences Grenoble, are greatly acknowledged for financial support.
