To develop the Excellence Initiative Nano, we have allocated funding to a number of activities. Our challenge is to bring together the historically separate, strong research activities in nanoscience and nanotechnology that are housed in different departments at Chalmers, and see it that we build a community that is even stronger than its constituent parts.
Therefore, we have implemented several specific measures such as an interdisciplinary summer school for graduate students, a strategy workshop for principal investigators, two community building workshops for nano-researchers at Chalmers and a monthly seminar series.
We aim to implement further community building measures in the coming future.
