INSD Summer School 2024, Osaka-Tsukuba(Summer Lectures in 2024 on Nanotechnology/Nanoscience)
Three lectures: Live-hybrid (on site and on line)
Open during July 12 and August 1
Live final exam. (student presentation) at the end

Let’s participate in the graduate-level lectures on nanoscience and nanotechnology
by top foreign scientists!
R3 Institute for Newly-Emerging Science Design, Osaka University, opens the INSD Summer School 2024 on
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, where three lectures are provided by live-hybrid and on-demand styles. Thissummer school is aimed for fostering international young talent on nanoscience and nanotechnology. Each set oflectures is composed of seven or eight classes during July 12th and August 1st, 2024. In principle, lectures will be given
as a live-hybrid (on site face-to-face and on line) style. However, students can access to the on-demand style lecturesin case that they cannot attend. These students should finish to view a series of lectures during the specified period
and are requested, just after each lecture, to submit the answer to the short question raised during each of lectures
to ensure the attendance. Final examination of all the three lectures will be executed as the live-hybrid style with theparticipation of the lecturers. ZOOM or Webex system will be used for hybrid and on-demand lectures. In this year,
however, two lecturers in Osaka University will give lectures in person at Toyonaka campus. We strongly recommend
all the students from Osaka University get the lectures at the site (Interdisciplinary Research Building at ToyonakaCampus).

The lecture documents and recorded lectures will be uploaded at the homepage of R3 center.
URL: http://www.insd.osaka-u.ac.jp/■ Lecturers: Following lecturers will offer three topics.
Osaka University:
Prof. Albert M. (Fred) Brouwer(Van't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands)
Prof. Brandon Mitchell(Department of Physics and Engineering, West Chester University, USA)
University of Tsukuba:
Dr. Nathanaelle Schneider(CNRS Senior Researcher, Institut Photovoltaïque d’Ile-de-France, France)
Schedule and abstracts of lectures are shown on the second page.
■ Lecture Room: (Toyonaka Campus) R.N. 305, INSD Seminar Room, 3rd floor of Interdisciplinary Research Building.
■ Applicants: Although the priority is given to graduate-school students who take “Graduate Minor Program orGraduate Program for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies for Education, Research and Training on Nanoscience andNanotechnology” (hereafter, nano-program), “Interactive Material Science Cadet Program”, “Multidisciplinary PhD
Program for Quantum Beam”, and “Honors Program in Science, Engineering and Informatics”, there is plenty ofroom for other domestic and foreign graduate and undergraduate students and staff members to be welcome.
Homework exercises and final test (student presentation) will be imposed on graduate students who need credits.
They are also requested to reply to short questions in case of on-demand lectures for the evidence of the viewing.
■ Maximum number of topics and units of credit: One unit of credit for “International Exchange Lecture on Nanoscience and Nano-engineering B or C” is given to graduate students who complete a series of lectures on one topic.
Graduate students can get up to two units of credit. Especially, foreign students desiring to take the nano- program,but being not good at Japanese, are requested to complete these two topics in order to transfer two units of credit
to the otherwise required module, “Nanotechnology Career-up Lectures for Social, Legal, Ethical Relationship”.
■ Deadline and method of application: Deadline depends on the lecturers. Send the following information either inJapanese or in English to the INSD staff who is in charge. E-mail address: nano-program@insd.osaka-u.ac.jp
Registration deadline: Prof. Brouwer and Prof. Mitchell: Monday, July 17th and Dr. Schneider : Friday, July 8th
Full name, student registration code, affiliation (graduate school/school, department, D/M/B, school year, affiliatedresearch laboratory), E-mail address, specify whether one takes nanoprogram or not, chosen lecturer’s name(s).
You will receive the information how to access to the website for the lecture documents and recorded lectures.
