Let’s Join International Video Exchange Live Lectures
on Nano-Science between OU and UG !!
INSD NanoScience Video Exchange Lectures 2019
The following international video exchange live lectures in English will be held
between Osaka University (OU) and the University of Groningen (UG). A couple of
one-hour lectures, one from OU and the other from UG, will be given four times. On
UG side, there attend the students belonging to the Top Mater Course of NanoScience
conducted by Zernike Institute, UG. On OU side, not only those Master and PhD
students who are registered as the INSD nanoprogram students but also those who areinteresting in the lectures are welcome to join the class and discussion. Do not misssuch a valuable opportunity! These lectures are regarded as “International Exchange
Lectures on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology A” (credit: 1 unit). Please register yourname in advance in order to receive the lecture slides in advance.
.
Exchange lectures: every Friday from October 11th to November 15th, 2019 except
on November 1st. On October 11th the introductory lecture is given only in Osaka,
together with the video address given by the 2016 Nobel Laureate, UG Prof. BenardL. Feringa,
Time: 16:00-18:15 for October 11th, 18th and 25th, and17:00-19:15 for November 8th and 15th (because of winter time in Europe).
