The Summer school on Methods in Micro - Nanotechnology and Nanobiotechnology takes place from June 23rd to June 26th 2009 in the National Center of Scientific Research "Demokritos", Athens, Greece.

Modern Research and product development in Life Sciences, Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Environmental and Agriculture/Food monitoring is taking advantage of the Micro and Nanotechnology developments.

Merging areas of research such as Nanobiotechnology have been created, which demand highly interdisciplinary research skills. It is thus necessary that many researchers from Life Sciences, Chemistry, and Engineering (Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Material, Environmental) acquire basic principles and methods in Micro and Nanotechnologies in order to integrate better in modern research activities and/or product development.

Who should attend?

Graduate students with Engineering, Science or Life Science background, post doctoral fellows, professionals, as well as group leaders involved in molecular biology or biotechnology, who wish to apply micro-technology in their research. This summer school will establish common language between the various disciplines and promote interdisciplinary research.

Place for approximately 20 attendands.

The 2nd, 3rd and 4th summer schools were the official Summer Schools of Nano2Life. The 5th summer school is an activity of the NaBiA.

Application deadline: 25th May 2009
