International Winter School for Graduates

Once again, NNIN will conduct an International Winter School for Graduate Students, this year in Mumbai at  IIT-Bombay,  Nov 30-Dec 13, 2009. Travel will begin on Friday Nov. 27.  This year's topic will be Nanoelectronics.  This follows last years inaugural offering on Organic Electronics and Optoelectronics held at IIT-Kanpur.

The School will consist on an intense technical course on Nanoelectronics at the graduate level--a one semester course taught over an intense 6 days. The course will be taught by leading faculty from US and Indian institutions.  Approximately 10 outstanding graduate students from across the US will be chosen to participate. They will be joined by 50 or more students and faculty from India.

After the technical course, the US and Indian participants will participate in a field experience for 4 or 5 days in an Indian village, working with a local NGO.

We encourage applications from serious, adventurous, advanced graduate students with an interest in Nanoelectronics, in the international aspects of scientific research, and in the impact of science and technology on the 3d world.

Participants DO NOT have to be from NNIN institutions and DO NOT have to be NNIN users. We encourage all outstanding graduate students ( US citizens and permanent residents only) to apply. Travel expenses will be paid by NNIN.

Application information is available at http://www.nnin.org/nnin_iwsg_2009.html .

The application deadline is September 14, 2009.
