=====Training, Education and Dissemination Activities=====
The Nano-Tera.CH program will gather scientists from different backgrounds ? physics, chemistry, biology, microtechnology, optics, etc ? working on common projects in different fields ? sensors and actuators, signal processing, software, system architecture, application fields. This will lead to a large demand for crossdisciplinary education among the scientists, which will be addressed by the internal workshops program.
In its overall strategic vision, Nano-Tera.CH aims at bettering human [[http://www.restaurantsandcafes.net/melbourne/cafes-melbourne/st-kilda/ cafes st kilda]] conditions and quality of life with systems that target improvement of health, security and environment. These objectives must be widely shared with the population and need to be explained through a dedicated public dissemination program for the citizens, the politicians and the press.
Nano-Tera.CH is focused on the application and integration of micro and nanotechnologies for the creation of innovative products, which industrialization and commercialization will have to be undertaken by Swiss enterprises. There will be a need for professional dissemination activities toward the entrepreneurs in order to identify the early adopters ready to take the risks inherent to innovation.
In order to ensure the success of the industrialization stage, there will be a need for transfer of knowledge form the research institution to the industry. This will be addressed by a large and almost cost covering Nano-Tera.CH continuous education program for industry.
In summary, this proposal encompasses the following activities:
1. ""<a href=http://www.nano-tera.ch/nanoterawiki/TEDActivities#one>An internal workshop program for Nano-Tera.CH scientists</a>""
2. ""<a href=http://www.nano-tera.ch/nanoterawiki/TEDActivities#two>A dissemination program for a large public</a>""
3. ""<a href=http://www.nano-tera.ch/nanoterawiki/TEDActivities#three>A dissemination program for professionals in the field of micro nano</a>""
4. ""<a href=http://www.nano-tera.ch/nanoterawiki/bookkeeping>A continuous education program for professionals in the field of micro nano</a>""
5. ""<a href=http://www.nano-tera.ch/nanoterawiki/TEDActivities#five>Summer schools for academic education</a>""
==DETAILED PROGRAM AND CONTENT==
===INTERNAL WORKSHOPS FOR NANO-TERA.CH PARTNERS""<a name="one" id="one"></a>""===
**Aim:** to create a real Nano-Tera.CH community, exchange experience and know-how
**Target group**: Research groups active in the program
**Activities**:
- Research meetings to present and discuss the different projects
- Technical workshops given by senior scientists to present the state of the art in specific fields.
**Content**: The technical workshops will focus mainly on the application systems targeted by Nano-Tera.CH, i.e. Wearable Embedded Systems, Ambient Systems and Remote Systems. For each of the three topics, senior scientists will be selected to present the most relevant enabling technologies.
As an example, one can imagine a Technical workshop on "Wearable Systems" with following topics:
- Sensing and bio-interfaces
- Wireless body area networks using Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB)
- Integration for small-form factor
- Ultra low power systems, included resources-aware embedded software
**Frequency**: In 2008, one Technical workshop can be organized. From 2009 on, we propose to organize each year one Research workshop and one Technical workshop.
**Locations**: at partners? places
**Announced by**: e-mail to all project partners
===DISSEMINATION PROGRAM FOR A LARGE PUBLIC""<a name="two" id="two"></a>""===
**Aim**:
- to gain public's confidence in the Nano-Tera.CH related technologies and research fields
- to focus on Nano-Tera.CH's vision, i.g. bettering human conditions and life quality,
improving health, security and environment;
- to answer the question: what can the average citizen expect from this program?
**Target group**: population, politicians, press
**Activities**:
- public conferences given by Nano-Tera researchers
- articles in non specialized press, advertising, posters
**Content**: The conferences and press articles will clearly focus on understanding the benefits for the quality of life, with focus on applications of micro and nanotechnologies in healthcare, security and environment
**Frequency**: In 2008, 2 conferences could be organized, one in the French speaking part and one in the German speaking part. 6 conferences could be organized in 2009 and 8 in 2010 and 2011. Once a month in different places.
**Locations**: widely spread out over the country, in collaboration with existing organisers of public conferences
**Announced by**: press releases, advertising in newspapers
===DISSEMINATION PROGRAM FOR PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD OF MICRO/NANO""<a name="three" id="three"></a>""===
**Aim**: encourage integration and application of micro and nanotechnologies for the creation of innovative products
**Target group**: Managers of Swiss enterprises active in micro/nano and of product manufacturers
**Activities**: E-Newsletter, conferences given by Nano-Tera.CH researchers

Industry representatives will be aware whether or not there is an opportunity for them to catch a new technology for a specific application in their own business.
Some typical topics will be:
- Ultra-low power electronics
- Very high speed electronics
- Disposable electronics
- 3-D integration
- Highly sensitive Carbon nanotube sensors
- Chip scale atomic clocks
- High density probe array sensing
- Cell chips
