The Madeira Chemistry Research Center (CQM) organizes the 8th edition of Nanoschool, from 12-14 October 2015, with Hiroshi Matsui, Professor in Chemistry and Biochemistry, from the City University of New York - Hunter College, and the Weill Medical School of Cornell University.Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in two activities: The Nanoschool Course and the Nanoschool Conference. The first one requires filling a pre-registration form (limited vacancies) but the conference is open access thus no registration is required.NANOSCHOOL COURSETitle: "Bionanotechnology: From Bio to Nano & From Nano to Bio".The short course will discuss various aspects of nanotechnology in multidisciplinary approaches. This lecture covers in present and future status of the integrated field between nanotechnology and biotechnology. It will be discussed in two directions; applying nanotechnology to biotechnology, and applying biotechnology to nanotechnology. Sophisticated nanotechnology can be useful in various medical fields and the knowledge learned from nature can improve nanotechnology engineering. Students will be encouraged to participate discussion, and many exchanges in relaxed atmosphere will be expected. Classes program:Oct. 12 - 11h00-13h00: Introduction (what are problems for human beings)Oct. 12 - 15h00-17h00: Bio -> Nano #1Oct. 13 - 11h00-13h00: Bio -> Nano #2Oct. 13 - 15h00-17h00: Nano -> Bio #1Oct. 14 - 11h00-13h00: Nano -> Bio #2Other topics: Update of related technologies / what are problems and how we are trying to solve them / how nanotechnology can contributeVenue: room 0.57, level 0 (University of Madeira, Campus of Penteada).Registration: Required, registration form available here (until 6th October 2015).Vacancies: 40 participants (maximum).Fees:Former student of UMa (degree obtained less than 5 years ago): 40.00€Others: 50.00€Notes: 1) The registration fee includes: attendance in class, participation certificate and support material in electronic format (copyright and related rights are applied). 2) Holders of the membership card of the Academic Association of UMa benefit from a 25% discount in the registration fee upon exhibition of a copy of the membership card (only for fees greater than 25€). 3) In case of cancellation of the course for reasons attributable to the organization, the registration fee will be refunded, deducting expenses with bank charges.
