Summer School : Nanosciences Ile-de-France

Domaine du Tremblay, June 24-29, 2007

(first call)

The summer School “Nanosciences Ile-de-France” is the first issue of a series of yearly events. It emanates from the Center of Nanoscience in Ile-de-France (C'Nano IdF, http://www.cnanoidf.org), whose aim is to promote, coordinate, and bundle interdisciplinary research in the field of nanoscience for more than 70 laboratories in the Paris area.

The main objective of this school is interdisciplinary teaching in the fields of sciences exploring the nanoworld, from biology to quantum physics. It also focuses on the social impacts of those researches.

The school will include tutorial lectures and state of the art seminars on advanced domains in nanosciences given by international researchers well-known in their respective fields of research. It will be an interesting opportunity for young researchers or students to meet international senior scientists recognized in their domain. Special events, like seminars or discussions, will be devoted to the social impacts of nanosciences (ethic, health, toxicity, law, jurisdiction...).
