Cover Story

Invitation from the sheik

For Meret Hornstein und Tibor Gyalog science shows are by now routine. Several times a year, the two communication experts from the Swiss Nanoscience Institute at the University of Basel pack their boxes and head off to explain nanoscale science to kids and interested adults. For each event and for each more...

Agenda

31.01.2012
Nano-Tera.ch projects
Dear SNI members, dear colleagues

We are happy to announce that the 2011 call for proposals for Nano-Tera.ch projects is now open.

This call covers three main research areas:
- wearable and implantable systems
- ambient and environment systems
- energy systems.

The extension towards energy concepts is a new focus of Nano-Tera.

Notice that the maximum applicable salaries for personnel have been raised in order to better conform to salary levels usually applied in the involved institutions. Furthermore, the rules governing matching funds have also been improved and made more beneficial to the applicants.

The submission deadline is January 31st, 2012.

You can find all details on the program scope and application forms on this page:
http://nano-tera.ch/proposals.html

Details on existing RTD projects can be found here:
http://nano-tera.ch/projects/rtd.php
As far as ED project proposals are concerned, the current rules and forms remain valid until the end of 2011.

For additional and SNI-relevant information, please contact Audrey Fischer (Audrey.Fischer@unibas.ch)

Best regards
Christian Schönenberger
