A number of sessions on micro- and nano-technologies are organised within the CAS 2001 programme. Each group of oral and /or poster sessions has certain specific features, as explained below.
SESSIONS ON "NANOSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY"
 |
Are taking place on 10th of October 2001 and start with the invited paper of Mihail Roco, Senior Adviser for Nanotechnology at the National Science Foundation, USA. |
|
Are organised by "Centre of Nanotechnologies" from IMT-Bucharest, headed by Irina Kleps (irinak@imt.ro). This unit is sponsored by a Romanian grant for Centres of Excellence. |
|
The presence of some participants is supported from project INCO-COPERNICUS No 977037 "SILICON BASED LIGHT EMITTING DIODES FOR OPTICAL INTERCONNECTS" (SBLED), financed by the European Commission. |
|
These sessions are accompanied by a Poster Exhibition presenting the institutions from the Romanian network for nanotechnologies (this is called MICRONANOTECH, and it is recognised by the European Commission). |
|
It is the intention of the organisers to publish the full-length papers in a volume. |
WORKSHOP ON "MICROMACHINED MICROWAVE DEVICES AND CIRCUITS"
|
It takes place on 9th and 10th of October 2001. |
|
It is organised jointly by IMT-Bucharest (Alexandru Muller, alexm@imt.ro) and LAAS, Toulouse (Robert Plana). |
|
It is partly supported by the research INCO Project No 977131 "MICROMACHINED CIRCUITS FOR MICROWAVE AND MILLIMETER WAVE APPLICATIONS (MEMSWAVE), financed by the European Commission. |
|
Demonstration of software for simulation and design of micromachined microwave and millimeter wave circuits (Zeeland Inc. and Coventor Inc.) accompanies the workshop (on 9th of October). |
|
It is the intention of the organisers to publish the full-length papers in a special volume. |
|
The participation is still open for "late-news" papers (contact the organisers). |
SESSIONS ON "MICROOPTICS AND MICROPHOTONICS"
|
Are taking place on 11th of October 2001. |
|
Are organised by the "Centre of Microphotonics" (a laboratory from IMT-Bucharest, in co-operation with "Politehnica" University of Bucharest) headed by Dana Cristea (danac@imt.ro). This unit is sponsored by a Romanian grant for Centres of Excellence. |
WORKSHOP ON "MICRO- AND NANO-TECHNOLOGIES FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS"
|
It takes place on 11th and 12th of October 2001. |
|
It is organised under the aegis of the International Society for BioMEMS and BioNanotechnology (ISBBN), by the Centre for Bioengineering, the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio (Mauro Ferrari, Nicanor Moldovan), Bar-Ilan Univ., Ramat-Gan, Israel (Motti Deutsch), and IMT-Bucharest (D. Dascalu, dascalu@imt.ro). |
|
"Biomedical Microdevices" (Editor-in-Chief Mauro Ferrari) will publish selected papers. |
|
The participation is still open for both invited and contributed papers (selected by the organisers). |
SATELLITE EVENT OF CAS 2001:
WORKSHOP "EUROPEAN CO-OPERATION IN MICRO- AND NANO-TECHNOLOGIES"
|
It takes place on 12th of October 2001. |
|
It is organised by the Ministry of Education and Research (Romania). |
|
It illustrates the policy of the European Commission and national policies (France, Greece, Italy, Romania, and Switzerland) in micro- and nano-technologies. |
|
It is still open for participation (contact D. Dascalu, dascalu@imt.ro). |
