| At the moment NanoConsulting plans the following courses: | |
| intensive course nanomaterials: June 9.-11., 2011 in Bad Gastein, Austria You get closer informations in the announcement, the description and the registration form. You are welcome to look at some impressions of the last course.It is also possible to ask for an individual course for your group (minimum 5 participants). |
|
| We offer compact courses for 5 – 10 participants. The lectures are oriented to applications.Fundamental phenomena and industrial applications of nanomaterials are discussed. They are directed to companies and persons, such as engineers and materials specialists, entering the field of nanomaterials. However, also experienced persons are profiting, as they may broaden their field of knowledge. Because of the small number of participants, these courses give an excellent possibility to discuss special problems in depth. For universities and companies, sending more than three delegates, we offer interesting discounts. | |
| Each participant will get a copy of “Nanomaterials”.

UK: One-Day Course: Nanotechnology for Drug Delivery – 30th Sep
30th September 2010, London, UK
Find out how the application of nanoscience and nanotechnologies to the delivery of drugs is being used to address a number of important clinical challenges!
The Institute of Nanotechnology is pleased to present a one-day short course “Nanotechnology for drug delivery” in association with Pharmidex. The course will provide an insight into how knowledge at the nanoscale and the application of nanotechnology is revolutionising the effective targeting of precise levels of drugs to treat a wide variety of diseases. The course will be invaluable to medical professionals, industry researchers, regulators and others interested in gaining knowledge of this rapidly developing area of nanomedicine. The course will cover, amongst other topics:
- drug delivery routes – challenges and possible solutions
- a review of the different types of novel nanoparticles and targeting systems being developed for the delivery of drugs
- novel multifunctional particles and systems
- theranostic approaches
- toxicology, risks and benefits
- regulatory aspects
Who Should Attend?
This course will be invaluable to clinicians from a broad range of disciplines, medical researchers, regulators, technology assessment and technology transfer professionals, industry researchers and other related professionals.

UK: University of Oxford – Postgraduate Certificate in Nanotechnology
The University of Oxford is pleased to announce that there are a limited number of bursaries available for the Postgraduate Certificate in Nanotechnology.
The Postgraduate Certificate is a unique part-time, online course for those seeking a thorough introduction to the subject. The course is ideally suited to full-time employees who seek to gain an academic qualification in the field of nanotechnology. It is taken predominantly online, meaning that it is accessible to anyone in the world with Internet access.
We have been running the course for several years and the online Postgraduate Certificate in Nanotechnology has been successfully completed by students from a wide range of backgrounds: medical practitioners, engineers and business people to name just a few. This is what some of students have to say about the course:
“I am so indebted to your efforts, such a great and extraordinary programme. The literature, as well as the order and pace of lessons, were absolute genius”
“Excellent resources and well informed tutors were clearly the strong point of the course.”
Each bursary is worth £1,500, and is available on a strictly first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to apply for one of these bursaries please contact nano@conted.ox.ac.uk explaining a little about your motivation for wanting to do the course.

US: Carbon Nanotubes and Inorganic Nanowires: Technology and Applications
Monday June 21, 2010, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, Anaheim, California
Technology Focus
The small scale and the one dimensional structure of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are directly related to their unique properties which find more and more applications as the understanding and progress in synthesis continue to advance. CNTs represent an exemplary system where the bottom-up approach to synthesis results in perfect structures with sizes less than 10nm, a range which remains inaccessible for advanced projection lithography techniques.
Applications of carbon nanotubes range from reinforcement of composites or conductive plastics to electrodes for batteries or flat screens, field effect transistors, chemical and bio sensors and electromechanical memory.
In recent years, the demonstrated ability to grow a variety of semiconductor, oxide and other inorganic materials in the form of nanowires with controlled properties and orientation also provides a competitive avenue for applications in logic, memory, data storage, sensors, instrumentation and others. Interestingly, growth of the inorganic nanowires and carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition follows a common basis of vapor-liquid-solid mechanism.
This course first introduces the fundamental properties of carbon nanotubes and inorganic nanowires and then focuses on applications.
