Training, Education and Dissemination Activities - First year

Nicolaas De Rooij of EPFL/STI/IMT/SAMLAB, expert in microsensors, microfluidics and BioMEMS

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.

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.

Nano-Tera.CH will pursue scientific excellence in many technologies and in their integration into systems. For students and researchers at Swiss and foreign universities and especially for young researchers from the Nano2 Tera community, condensed summer schools on specific topics will be organized.
