In 2006 NANOMAT was one of the partners for a training course for journalists and scientists, where
nanotechnology was the only subject.
At the The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim the MSc-degree
study was in 2006 and 2007 the most prefered, where approximately 240 applicants had this study as
their first choice. 30 students are accepted each year!
Every second year NANOMAT is arranging a large international conference. In 2007 in Bergen we had
280 participants and speakers, both national and international . Now in 2008 we will have a more
industry and financing related seminar, - where we a taking one step forward compared with the more
industry related seminar in 2006, with 100 participants.
As a result, we now see an increased understanding about nanotechnology and what could achieved,
but there is still a way to go.
