nanoBergen Brain-storming session
Nano2021  is  a  nanoscience  and  -technology  program  funded  by  the  Norwegian  research  council.  The  next  upcoming  application  deadline  is  May  24,  with  41  MNOK  in  the  pot.  Importantly,  this  call  allows  for  researcher  projects  («Forskerprosjekt»),  which  does  not  require  industry  participation.  The  call  is  detailed  here. 
On Tuesday 28, researchers from six different departments and institutions joined forces at the Department of Chemistry in a project-generation session within the nanoBergen network, with the purpose to establish local inter-institutional collaborations for the upcoming NANO2021 call as well as longer-term calls. Project ideas were presented that involve interesting nanoscience related to physics, chemistry and molecular biology, with downstream applications within e.g. technology, energy and medicine. In addition to the thrill of joining multidisciplinary scientific discussions, several concrete collaborations were established, inspiring similar meetings for future calls. Thanks to Christian for organizing this event!
