Venue: Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences, Hochschulstraße 1, 6850 Dornbirn

2nd Erwin Schrödinger Symposium

Zero Dimensional Nanostructures:
Science & Technology of Nanoparticles

May 23-25, 2016
Vienna, Austria

Venue: Schönbrunn Palace, Orangery, Schönbrunner Schloßstraße 47, 1130 Vienna

A topical international symposium devoted to the materials science of zero dimensional nanomaterials.

Scope: The 2nd Erwin Schrödinger Symposium is intending to instil vivid scientific communication and discussion on all kinds of zero-dimensional nanomaterials (nanoparticles, quantumdots, etc.). Their properties differ drastically from the respective bulk materials. Therefore they exhibit unique characteristics and utilizations as building blocks for the key components of nanodevices, sensors, photocatalysts, nanocontainers, and nanoreactors. International experts will illustrate the fundamentals and future applications. Scientists are invited to contribute their recent research in lectures and poster sessions.
1st Erwin Schrödinger Symposium

Two Dimensional Nanostructures

November 26-28, 2014
Vienna, Austria

Venue: Natural History Museum of Vienna, Maria-Theresien-Platz, 1010 Vienna

A topical international symposium devoted to the materials science of two dimensional nanomaterials.

Scope: The 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov “for ground-breaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene”. Even more research and development efforts have been focused on a broad range of two-dimensional nanostructures owing to their many low dimensional characteristics different from the bulk properties exhibiting unique shape-dependent characteristics and subsequent utilization as building blocks for the key components of nanodevices, sensors, photocatalysts, nanocontainers, nanoreactors, and templates for 2D structures of other materials.
