Nanomaterials for Sustainable Energy

EU-India Workshop (1-2 November 2010)
EICOON School ( 3 - 4 November 2010)
India Habitat Centre, New Delhi

Research in nanomaterials is expected to provide critical contributions to the advancement in energy technologies and to address the important issue of sustainability. Progress in these cross-disciplinary areas can be best achieved through coordinated and cooperative actions. This event will provide a unique opportunity for those involved in research (including funding and policy) in Europe and India to identify synergies and mutual needs to push forward progress and provide benefits for both regions.
