Dear Colleagues,

The 6th International Summer Schools on Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies: Organic Electronics & Nanomedicine (ISSON12)
will take at 30 June - 7 July 2012, in Thessaloniki, Greece (http://nnconf.physics.auth.gr/isson.html)

ISSON12 will give the opportunity to young researchers and early-career scientists and engineers to participate in a series of lectures
on the emerging fields of Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies. Top class Experts from Universities, Research Institutions and    
Industry worldwide will share their knowledge and experience in the format of lecture presentations.

The ISSON 12 is divided in three complementary Schools:
School 1: Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies (ΝΝ) (LINK)
School 2: Organic Electronics (OE) (LINK)
School 3: NanoMedicine (NM) (LINK)

Why ISSON12 is divided into 3 Schools?
The lectures will review the current trends and knowledge in the fields of NN in general (mainly in School 1) and in parallel    
focus in two main Application areas, the OΕ (School 2) and NΜ (School 3). Furthermore state-of-the-art techniques,    
as well as a demonstration-tour in the laboratory facilities for developing and characterizing nanoscale materials will also    
be included. Generally, the ISSON program will be comprised by plenary and parallel sessions in order for the ISSON students    
to fix-and-attend lectures according to their preference.

A Tentative List of the ISSON12 Lecturers can be found in the following LINK.

What are the ADVANTAGES of participating in these Schools?
