Nanotechnology Workshop
The Center for Special Studies and Programs (CSSP) organized a two-day workshop held at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina on 2-3 September 2007.

The workshop aspired to provide an introduction of Nano-Science and Nano-Technology, and was aimed at post-graduates, research scholars and postdoctoral researchers.

The workshop intended, not only to assist researchers in discovering the status of Nano-Science, but to additionally initiate active research in this area.

Description
The workshop comprised of five sessions daily and over the course of two days, it focused on several topics including nanotechnology; nano-sciences and their applications (including nanomaterials, nanofilms, nanostructures and nano-tubes); and nanoscience in the field of biology.

Participants:
This workshop aimed at students/researchers who were currently preparing for their Masters, Doctoral, and Postdoctoral degree studies.

Applicants were preferred to be engaged in the field of nano-technology and nano-sciences to attend this workshop and was preferred that they are either planning or have already carried out research in these fields.
