More than 250 academic researchers andindustrial experts from 20 countries are attending the secondInternational Workshop on Nanotechnology Application 2009 in Vung Tau,which began on Nov. 12.
“Nanotechnology is considered a strategic technology for theworld’s future economy, and is expected to affect virtually everybranch of science and engineering as an enabling or key technology,”Phan Thanh Binh, director of the Vietnam National University in HCMCity , told the conference.
“Nanoscience and nanotechnology will be given special priority atthe university in HCM City, and a lab for nanotechnology has beenbuilt with a broad network of both internal and externalcollaboration,” he added.
“The university has increased its research collaborations with various organisations and universities around the world.”
The three-day conference was jointly organised by the university’sLaboratory for Nanotechnology and the Micro-Nanotechnology InnovationCentre (Minatec), a European research centre focused onnanotechnologies in France . The Ministry of Science and Technology andthe HCM City Department of Science and Technology have also supportedthe event.
A total of 210 papers will be presented at the conference, coveringimportant issues in nanotechnology, ranging from fundamental research,nanomaterials and processing to nanofabrication, nanodevices andapplications.
As a satellite activity of the workshop, the Forum on BusinessOpportunities in the Micro-Nanotechnology Industry in Vietnam isscheduled to be organised on Nov. 14 morning for scientists,researchers and business community./.
