Revolution
Workshop

Scope
The main goal of this Workshop is to bring together Russian and former Soviet Union scientists successfully working everywhere in the world for intensive discussions of current trends and achievements in Nanotechnologies. We expect that this conference will improve cooperation between Russian-speaking scientists and will bring new benefits for their scientific carrier. It is planned to have only oral half-hour presentations on recent progress in Nanotechnologies. This meeting will provide many opportunities for communication in a relaxed atmosphere following well known Russian traditions. The workshop will take place in France on one of the beautiful Mediterranean islands at the beginning of October 2008.
