Date : 30 Jun - 1 Jul 2008
Venue : Southeast University
The Forum for Joint ATN-ISTA Research Network in Nanotechnology
was held in Southeast University on 30 Jun - 1 Jul 2008.
It aimed to provide an exchange platform for the next-generation
researchers in the nanotechnology field to explore R&D
collaboration opportunities. Over 30 researchers from
10 ATN and ISTA member institutes attended the Forum.
After the Forum, the researchers from ATN member institutes
visited the State Key Laboratory of Bioelectronics and
the Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Biomaterials & Devices
in Southeast University.
