Financial support: Application deadline 1. March 2012 – 20.02.2012

The Norwegian PhD Network on Nanotechnology for Microsystems, Nano-network, offers various forms of financial support for the network participants.

1. March 2012 is the next application deadline, and you will find more information about the funding possibilities on our website:

Financial support

 

The following categories of support have application deadline 1. March:

- Support for laboratory and processing expenses, including travel support if that is needed to conduct planned research (max. NOK 40.000)

- Travel grants for international conferences where research results are published (max. NOK 15.000)

Students from HiVe won student competition at NANOMAT seminar – 03.11.2011

We congratulate master students Quoc-Huy Nguyen and Giang Nghiem Minh, and PhD candidate Bao Quoc Ta from the Institute of Microsystem Technology at Vestfold University Collegewith the victory in the student competition at NANOMATs closing seminar, arranged by the Reseach Council of Norway. Their idea of using carbon nanotubes for water purification was voted the best of the three finalist by the participants at the seminar.The three finalists were:

  • Quoc-Huy Nguyen, Bao Quoc Ta, Minh Giang Nghiem (HIVE); “Water purifying devices using carbon nanotubes”
  • Jon Olav Grepstad (NTNU); “Photonic crystal based biosensing platform for single molecule detection”
  • Elisabeth Vågenes (NTNU); “Nanoview”

The winners get a travel grant and coaching by Connect Norge to develop their idea towards commercialization.

Congratulations!
