Nanomaterials for Biological Applications
Date: 14 April 2011, 10:00 – 13:00 BST (14:30 - 17:30 IST)
The ICPC-NanoNet project stimulates global networking in nanoscience and nanotechnology. This online workshop on ‘Nanomaterials for Biological Applications’ enables nanoscientists working in this field to meet and find out about each others expertise, infrastructure and research interests.
This free online workshop on ‘Nanomaterials for Biological Applications’ will enable participants to meet and find out about each other’s expertise and research interests in this field. The prospective audience consists of nanoscientists specialising in materials and their applications from India, International Cooperation Partner Countries to the EU (emerging economies and developing countries) and elsewhere, and individuals interested in this research area.
