Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology for Trace Level Detection 4-7 June 2012 - Tarragona, Spain
The Short Course will cover basic concepts of nanomaterials and Microsystems technologies for a successful integration in functional devices. It will review state of the art technology and methods for trace level detection. An introduction to growth and characterisation of nanostructures will deliver hands on experience. The Short Course is residential and the programme allows plenty of scope for networking with lecturers and attendees. Lectures take place in the morning and afternoon with the evenings free to network, consolidate their knowledge or enjoy the outdoors (Roman and Medieval Tarragona or its beaches).

Message from the PresidentIt is a pleasure and an honour to introduce myself as the new ISOCS president for the next two years. I have been serving as Vice-President for the last two years, doing my best to support our former President Julian W. Gardner. I was proposed by the ISOCS Executive in the General Assembly held on 3rd May 2011, at the Rockefeller University, New York, with the occasion of the 14th International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose. Previous presidents Prof. J. Gardner and Prof. U. Weimar, have been long-lasting leaders of our community, much before the actual foundation of ISOCS. I remember my first oral presentation in chemical sensors in Eurosensors, Budapest-1993, as a fresh post-doc, being just after Prof. Gardner talking about the history of electronic noses. I believe that the best way to thank them is to keep working towards the advancement and consolidation of our community. In this spirit, I gladly accept this responsibility, and I hope to count on your help for an exciting bi-annual term. |
