Programme

2:45 – 3:00 Set-up, sound check, system check and download of materials

3:00 Webinar Start

The webinar will:

• give an insight into the current policies related to the registration of dossiers for nanomaterials;
• discuss references, guidance documents, and nanomaterial characterization;
• provide an opportunity for the discussion of REACH impacting the supply chain and international trade.

This webinar is free for both members and non-members.

Register now for this practical guide to becoming REACH Ready.

What is REACH?

REACH is a new European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use and deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances.

2) NanoMicroClub Networking Event: "Energy Generation and Supply"

6th October 2010, University of Surrey, UK

"Energy Generation and Supply"

Organised by: The Institute of Nanotechnology and the University of Surrey Nanotechnology and Photonics Platform

The energy market encompasses a vast range of economic activity, from the extraction of fossil fuels, to the generation of energy, its distribution, and consumption.

The event will discuss:

• The potential impact of Nanotechnology at all stages of the energy value chain
• The development of advanced materials for improved oil drilling, innovations in thin film solar technologies, and new batteries that have increased power densities and
  stability
• The development of new energy technologies driven by policies that reduce CO2 generation

Our NanoMicroClub meeting on the 6th of October will highlight nanotechnology applications for Energy Generation and Supply.

Current confirmed Speakers include:

• Prof Ravi Silva, Director of the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) and the Nano-Electronics Centre (NEC) at University
  of Surrey

• Tiju Joseph, Knowledge Exchange Platform Director, Nanotechnology and Photonics, Surrey University

• Dr Mark Graves, Managing Director - 1851 Technology Group

• "Nanoparticle anti-reflection films - applications to solar cells"
  Gareth Wakefield, Technical Director - Oxford Energy
  Technologies

• "Nanoporous Materials - a major advance for Supercapacitors"
  Bill Campbell, Chief Executive Officer - Nanotecture Ltd

• Mike Attfield, Business Director - Energenics Europe Ltd (TBC)

• "Future and Emerging Opportunities in Energy"
  Dr Jeff Hardy, Future and Emerging Opportunities Manager, Energy Generation and Supply KTN
