The 2nd EU/FET-Cluster meeting will help to establish a critical mass of R&D at a European level and to stimulate development of an interdisciplinary community of researchers.

The host city of the 3rd NanoSMat conference will be - Barcelona, Spain! The event will take place during 21-24 October 2008 at the Meliá Barcelona hotel, located in the financial and commercial heart of the city.

The Conference will critically analyze the state-of-the-art in the field of porous semiconductors during the two years that have passed since the PSST-2006 event. The emphasis will be kept on breakthroughs in understanding the mechanism of growth and physical properties of porous semiconductors; critical issues in their properties and emerging applications. We challenge expanding applications of porous semiconductors in natural and life science, as well as in sensing, chemical and photochemical applications.
The Conference will serve to join researchers active in physics and chemistry of semiconductors, optics, electrochemistry, analytical instrumentation, biochemistry, medicine and other related field.

A 1 1/2 day symposium covering the use of ink jet for manufacturing electronics, displays, biotechnology applications and 3D modelling. Speakers from FujiFilm Dimatix, HC Starck, CSG Solar, Thi Film Electronics, Xennia, Fraunhofer IFAM, Sunjet, TNO Science & Industry, VTT, Ceram Research and others. Full details at www.imieurope.com
