Let’s Join International Video Exchange Live Lectures
on Nano-Science between OU and UG !!
INSD NanoScience Video Exchange Lectures 2023
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 whoare interested in the lectures are welcome to join the class and discussion. Do not
miss such a valuable opportunity! These lectures are regarded as “InternationalExchange Lectures on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology A” (credit: 1 unit). Please
register your name in advance in order to receive the on-line website and lectureslides in advance.
*INSD: R3 Institute for Newly-Emerging Science Design, OU
Exchange lectures: every Friday from October 13th to November 17th, 2023 except
on November 3rd. On October 13th the introductory lecture is given only in Osaka,
together with the video Nobel Prize lecture given by the 2016 Nobel Laureate, UG
