During the last
two decades, a revolutionary scientific new age,
based on the capacity to observe, characterize,
manipulate and organize matter in the nanometric
scale, is appearing. In this scale, physics, chemistry,
materials science, computational theory, and engineering
converge towards the same theoretical principles
and experimental findings that are basically governed
by the laws of the Quantum Mechanics. Nanotechnology
involves these interdisciplinary knowledge areas
and methodologies in order to study, manufacture
and characterize functional structures with dimensions
of tens of nanometers.
The three year-old NanoSpain network aims to agglutinate
and coordinate the efforts made in the field of
the Nanotechnology by Spanish groups from universities,
research institutes and companies. Moreover, this
network has tried to help the government institutions
in defining potential actions and plans referring
to this area. Actually the NanoSpain network, comprising
116 Spanish groups with near 400 researchers in total,
is one of the widest Spanish scientific networks.
As a direct and most effective way to enhance the interaction
between our network members, a first meeting of NanoSpain
was organised. Its objective was to facilitate the dissemination
of knowledge and promote interdisciplinary discussions among
the different NanoSpain groups. In order to organise the various
sessions and to select contributions , the meeting was structured
in the following thematic lines, but interactions among them
were promoted:
1. MEMS/NEMS
2. Nanobiology
3. Nanomaterials
4. Nanochemistry
5. Nanoelectronics
6. Scanning Probe Microscopies (SPM)
7. Scientific infrastructures and Scientific Parks
8. Simulation in the nanoscale
Another objective of this meeting was to permit considering
the situation of Nanotechnology in our country, as well as
in reaching conclusions concerning the future of the NanoSpain
network, in order to guarantee its continuity by means of
concrete proposals and a renovation of its structures.
This event received funding from
the "Donostia International Physics Center" (DIPC) and the
Spanish Ministry of Science through the following two networks:
"Red Española de Nanotecnología (NANOSPAIN)"
Funding Agency: Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología - Acción Especial (MAT2001-5411-E)
"Red Nacional de Investigadores en Nanociencias: Metodologías Experimentales y Teóricas (NANOCIENCIA)".
