Newsletter: June 2016

The vision for the South African nanoscience and nanotechnology school is to create a pool of nanoscientists sufficiently trained to conduct nanoscience research. The theme for 2016 is ‘Nanotechnology health, safety and environmental risk research: Nanotechnology HSE is a necessity and not an impediment in the advancement of nanotechnology’.

The school will focus on training emerging Masters students, PhD students and experienced scientists.
