Welcome to ISSON15

...where the top class experts share their knowledge with the scientists & engineers of tomorrow...

Thessaloniki, Greece, 4 - 11 July 2015

The ISSON Summer Schools will give the opportunity to young researchers and early-career scientists and engineers to participate in a series of lectures on the emerging fields of Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies.

ISSON15 is divided in three complementary schools that cover the significant areas in the N&N field:

school1 school2 school3

The lectures will review the current trends and knowledge in the fields of NN in general (mainly in School 1) and in parallel focus in two main Application areas, the Organic Electronics (School 2) and Nanomedicine (School 3). Furthermore state-of-the-art techniques, as well as a demonstration-tour in the laboratory facilities for developing and characterizing nanoscale materials will also be included. Top class Experts from Universities, Research Institutions and Industry worldwide will share their knowledge and experience in the format of lecture presentations. Generally, the ISSON program will be comprised by plenary and parallel sessions in order for the ISSON students to fix-and-attend lectures according to their preference.

This year, Schools 2 and 3 are also supported by the OrgBIO FP7 project with highly interdisciplinary/intersectoral lectures in the area of organic bioelectronics.

NEW! Present your work in ISSON's Special Poster Session

All ISSON participants can present their current research work (background and research activity) in a Special ISSON Poster Session to the rest of the group, the ISSON Committee and Lecturers at the Welcome Ceremony of ISSON Schools. In case you will also attend the NN15 and/or ISFOE15 Conference, your poster can also be presented there!

At the end of ISSON15 Schools the best poster will be awarded!

NEW! Demonstration Lesson

What is the VISION of ISSON Schools?

...To be a gateway for innovative high-tech ideas coming from enthusiastic young researchers.

What will the ISSON program include and how many ECTS credits can you get?

A full day program of ISSON lectures for the 4-11 July 2015 with parallel sessions of two of the Schools to run each day, usually School 2 and School 3, while School 1 which covers generally N&N will be mostly in shared sessions. The fix-and-attend choice for the attendees is available in order to enhance the interdisciplinary role of ISSON. There will be a limit of about 30 participants/students to enroll for the parallel sessions. ISSON attendees will also participate in the conferences ISFOE15 and/or NN15, in case they also registered for the above events.
ATTENTION: After the lectures there will be written exams and those who will succeed will get 3 ECTS credits.

Which NANOTEXNOLOGY event(s) can you attend by participating in ISSON?

It depends mainly on your research interests and/or curiosity and as a Bonus you automatically attend the NN15 Conference.....

ISSON15: You automatically attend the NN15 Conference, therefore at the On-line Registration Form you can select either the Full or Student ISSON15+NN15 Registration depending on your status.
If you wish to attend ISFOE15 Symposium and at the same time wish to participate to ISSON15, then at the On-line Registration Form you have to select either the Full or Student ISFOE15+ISSON15+NN15 Registration depending on your status. Again NN15 Conference comes as a Bonus!
In case you are a student, you also have the option to participate only in the ISSON Summer Schools (3 days). Just select "Only ISSON lectures" at the On-line Registration Form.
