The topic of MiFuN 2017 is the time dependence of structural features at the nanoscale, a recent research development that is expected to have a strong impact on nanoscience and technology.

Safe the date: 4th - 6th of October 2017

Der Cluster Nanotechnologie und das Netzwerk NanoCarbon laden herzlich zum Innovationsforum Carbon - Nano goes Macro vom 25. - 26. Oktober 2017 nach Nürnberg ein.

Die Veranstaltung soll Impulse für eine gemeinsame Technologieplattform der beiden kohlenstoffbasierten Hochtechnologiefelder carbonfaserverstärkte Kunststoffe (CFK) und Nanokohlenstoffmaterialien geben.

This year's Science Industry Symposium "NanoVision" will take place on November 14-15 2017 in Bremen at the Fraunhofer IFAM. The general topic will be „Nanomaterials in Harsh Environments“, with a particular focus on marine engineering, offshore energy, biomaterials, and industrial production.

NanoMat and the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS) launch an interdisciplinary seminar series on Nanotechnologies and their impact on society, environment and economy.
UPCOMING SEMINAR, at the ITAS, Karlstr. 11, room 418 will be determined soon.

Prof. Karls-Joseph Dietz: "The mutual interference of nanomaterials and plants in the environment"

The General Assembly of the H2020 FETOPEN Project "LiRichFCC" took place on April 11, 2017 in Grenoble. Further information about the project is available at www.lirichfcc.eu.

 „State-of-the-art“ nanocharacterization as a tool for innovation: How can deep understanding in nano-scale materials science lead to new or improved industrial applications of materials and create innovation? Experts from industry and academia discuss issues related to this question in our newly initiated transfer forum on Nanocharacterization.

The new graduate school for modeling, design, implementation and automation of printed and hybrid electronics has started in fall 2016. MERAGEM is coordinated by Prof. Jasmin Aghassi (Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Offenburg, HSO/Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, KIT) and Prof. Mehdi Tahoori (KIT) and receives funding from the Ministry of Science, Research and Arts Baden-Württemberg. First students have already been recruited.

50 Participants from 14 European regions were present at NanoMat's international workshop on „Nano-Enabled Printed Electronics“ Sept 13., 2016 at KIT which was part of our activities in the frame work of the Vanguard Initiative. (https://www.nanomat.de/PE-Workshop2016.php).

With Max Fichtner at the HIU as coordinating PI, LiRichFCC will explore an entirely novel class of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. NanoMat assisted in proposal writing and submission and will be responsible for project administration.

NanoMat is coordinating the "New Nano-Enabled Products" Pilot Project in the frame work of the EU Vanguard Initiative. Please join us at the Vanguard Matchmaking Event on February 25 2016. 400 participants from the leading technology regions in Europe. NanoMat will be holding a workshop on "Printed Electronics".
