CONFERENCE
The international scientific conference is an event where participants from all over the world are able to meet one another and share on newest scientific achievements, trends and activities in research of innovative materials and design, by using modern nanotechnologies.
The aim of the conference is to facilitate cooperation among science, education and innovative business sectors so that in future it would be possible to develop manufacturing of materials and products with a high added value.
This year the main scientific topics are as follows: theoretical research and modelling of materials and processes; materials for energy, photo-electrical transformers of solar energy and renewable energy technologies; multifunctional non-organic, organic and hybrid materials for photonics, micro and nanoelectronics, as well as new methods for nanostructure research, use of innovative materials in science and economics.
FM&NT-2011 will be attended by material scientists, researchers, engineers and students from universities, academies, research institutes and involved industry companies.
The conference is becoming more popular among international scientists. This year more than 260 participants from 23 countries have accepted their participation in the conference: Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Denmark, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Italy, Rumania, Brazil, India, Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Belarus, the Ukraine, Uzbekistan and, of course, Latvia.
In total, the agenda of the conference comprises 1 pleanary, 22 invited, 49 verbal and 179 stand reports. The experts are invited from internationally recognized research centres and universities – Cadarache French Alternative Energy and Atomic Energy Commission Centre (France), Nobel Prize awarded Peter Grünberg Institute (Germany), Upsala University (Sweden) and other significant scientific institutions.
In separate meetings there will be discussions about starting cooperation within the shared projects, development of science in respective countries, support from state and government. This year major emphasis will be placed on creating Baltic Science link – establishing of scientific cooperation and common research interests among all the Baltic States - Baltic See Region Programme 2007-2013.
Special attention will be devoted to the discussions of the UL Institute of Solid State Physics initiative for creating European level research centre Latvian Nanostructural Material Centre (LATNANO-C). LATNACO-C aim is to develop cooperation framework between Latvia and international scientific institutions for concentrating scientific resources within European reasearch level scientifically prior directions, stimulating development of prior Latvian economic<s>s</s> sectors and society.
Presently, the preparation and coordination of such projects go together with current events taking place in Latvia – creating of National Research Centre and Competence Centre.
