Summary on Grant Application Form |

The purpose of setting up this Nanotechnology network is to encourage UK researchers working in all of the scientific and engineering disciplines to collaborate actively in exploring the potential of designing and creating artificial structures at the nanometric level. The Network members have in common a scientific interest in understanding how structures, both molecular and functional, can be constructed at this scale and in the potential applications of such structures in a wide range of fields. The Network is therefore highly interdisciplinary with members from biology, pharmacy, physics, chemistry, cognitive sciences, electronic engineering and computer science. It also includes members from the electronic and pharmaceutical industries and from the National Physical laboratory. It will provide a proper forum in which researchers can meet and communicate regularly to exchange ideas and expertise and forge collaborations and will promote the transfer of technology and ideas into industry. During the three year programme, a number of collaborative activities will take place, involving all the initial Network members and their colleagues, any other interested parties from academia and industry and invited speakers. These activities will include up to eight half day seminar sessions on specific topics at the participating institutions, one one-day workshop per year with invited international speakers, and extended visits of individual researchers between institutions. In addition, a dedicated Network web site will be constructed as a showcase for the work of the network members in the field of nanotechnology. This will provide contact and meeting information and links to other relevant sites, including the new EPSRC Quantum Circuits Network. Finally, web cams will be provided for the founding groups in the Network to allow real time, remote demonstrations of results and techniques.
