Let’s Join International Video Exchange Live Lectures
on Nano-Science between OU and UG !!
INSD NanoScience Video Exchange Lectures 2021
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 areinterested 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 on-line website and lecture slides in advance.
.
Exchange lectures: every Friday from October 15th to November 19th, 2021 except
on November 5th. On October 15th the introductory lecture is given only in Osaka,
together with the video address given by the 2016 Nobel Laureate, UG Prof. Benard
