By kind and highly friendly invitation of the UK Trade & Investment (through the British Embassy in Portugal) transADVANcis was much honored to be present (in the person of our President & CEO, Luís Bastos) at the UK NanoForum 2008 (28th October 2008, London, United Kingdom). This event was organized by the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) jointly with the Nanotechnology Industries Association (NIA), Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer (NanoKTN) and the FCO Science & Innovation Network.
|
| |
The UK NanoForum 2008 consisted in two programmes: (1) The event itself (28th October 2008); (2) An Extended Programme of three days (from 28th to 31th October 2008).
|
| |
About 300 + attendees, coming from 22 Countries were present on this day.
|
| |
The event itself (28th October 2008) consisted in: (1) lectures covering three key themes: Healthcare for the Modern Age, Clean Technologies and Technology Pitches; (2) a showcase of UK exhibitors, demonstrating the roadmap on nanotechnology in the UK and how it is applied to products and processes.
|
| |
All the lectures were of superior level and scientific interest, fully explanatory and very well organized. It could be felt a very comfortable and inspiring atmosphere for contacts, networking, partnering, collaborations, synergies, business opportunities and investment at a global scale.
|
| |
Extended Programme:
|
| |
29th October 2008: Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, RAL (Science & Technology Facilities Council) in Oxfordshire (near Didcot). Lectures of high level and scientific interest, fully explanatory and very well organized were presented.
Two tours to facilities were very well organized: (1) Tour to the Diamond Light Source and its absolutely impressive synchrotron; (2) Tour to the Micro and Nanotechnology Centre (MNTC). |
| |
30th October 2008: University of Bristol, Advanced Composites Centre for Innovation and Science, ACCIS (mechanical testing of nanocomposites, high strain rate, visualisation of nanoparticles and nanocomposites, nanocomposites processing, characterisation of nanocomposites and nanoparticles). Again, lectures of high level and scientific interest, fully explanatory and very well organized and prepared were presented. The facilities of ACCICS and the expertise their scientists was notorious and impressive.
|
| |
31th October 2008: National Physical Laboratory, NPL (Teddington). Once more, several lectures of high level and scientific interest, fully explanatory were presented demonstrating an excellent preparation and organization. From the expertise in nanoparticle characterization (nanoparticles from ambient and engineered nanoparticles) and the development of standards for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology to the brand new building, constructed having in mind the minimization of vibrations, every detail revealed a high professionalism, vision of the future and accuracy in science, engineering and technology.
|
| |
The extended programme maintained the same high standards of professionalism and excellence. The visits to the diverse facilities were also very well organized and impressive. It was an excellent opportunity to improve transADVANcis vision perceiving of the actual status of nanotechnology and materials science today, its trends for the future as well as the really impressive contributes of United Kingdom to the development of cutting edge technologies in the European Union and in a global scale.
