If you want to take part in the next
2nd International Summer School for young scientists
"Nanotechnology: from fundamental research to innovations"
please send your information to Organizing Committee

The Summer School took place from August 26 to September 2, 2012 in Bukovel, Ukraine - the most picturesque location of the Carpathians.

International Summer School "NANOTECHNOLOGY: from fundamental research to innovations" gave the opportunity to young researchers and early-career scientists to participate in a series of lectures on the emerging fields of Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies. Top class Experts from universities and research institutions of 7 Europian country and USA shared their knowledge and experience in the format of lecture presentations and round table discussions.

What were the ADVANTAGES of participating in this School?

• Expanding their knowledge and scientific understanding

• Consultation with exceptional scientists and engineers from various fields of science

• Experience what 'interdisciplinarity' means in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

• Understand the 'From Theory to Practice' process

• Have the opportunity to show research work as oral presentations and discuss research work face-to-face with experienced researchers

• Seek advice on publishing of unpublished research results

• Learn how to be open to new ideas, be creative and how to implement them

• Enhance professional networks for future career opportunities

• Get confidence at an international scientific event and programs, particularly in the FP7

and:

• Enjoy a social program

• Go around the resort Bukovel, the best resort of the Ukrainian Carpathians!

International Summer School was held by the Institute of Physics, NAS of Ukraine and partners:

• TARTU ULIKOOL, Estonia

• European Profiles A.E., Greece

• UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO, Italy

• UNIVERSITE PIERRE ET MARIE CURIE - PARIS 6, France

Due to the fact that International Summer School held in the framework of the project "Nanotwinning" is aimed at strengthening the scientific cooperation between Ukraine and other European countries, this School was attended by 45 young scientists from 8 country of Europe.

Thematic areas of International Summer School for young scientists
"Nanotechnologies: from fundamental research to innovations":

• Microscopy of nanostructures

• Nanocomposites

• Nanostructured Interfaces and Surfaces

• Nanooptics

• Nanoplasmonics and enhanced vibrational spectroscopy

• EU Framework programme opportunities for young researchers.

36 young scientists received grants, which provide their participation in lectures and meetings, printed programs and materials, the book of abstracts, accommodation with two meals a day at Patkovsky hotel in a double room and coffee-breaks.

During the school there was held a competition among young scientists for the best oral presentation. The winner was a postgraduate student of the Institute of Physics of NAS of Ukraine Anton Senenko. He won a prize - electronic book. Second place received a postgraduate student of the Institute of Experimental Pathology, Oncology and Radiobiology, NAS of Ukraine Iryna Shton and the third place was divided between student of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Anna Rynder and postgraduate student of the Institute for Scintillation Materials NAS of Ukraine Seminko Vladislav.

Abstracts of the School participants are issued in the book of abstracts.

Presentations of the School's participants are available on "Presentations" page of this website.

The School was covered by 5th channel of Ukrainian television in the Windows to Europe program and in the Intelekt.UA program.
