13.4. The research institutes and their expertise
The Slovak Academy of Sciences consists of institutes of technology whose activities
are regulated by the acts on Science and Technology adopted in February 2002. One
of these activities is the organisation of conferences on Nanotechnology.
Tot 2003, this organisation has organised the following conferences:
2003: Fraktografia - Fractography 2003 (9.-12.11.2003, Stara Lesna, Slovak
Republic)
2002: International Conference Deformation and Fracture in Structural PM Materials
(15.-18.9.2002, Stara Lesna, Slovak Republic)
2001: Fractography of Advanced Ceramics 2001 (13.-16.5.2001, Stara Lesna,
Slovak Republic)
LECO seminar (2.-4.5.2001, Stara Lesna, Slovak Republic (in Slovak only)
2000: Fraktografia - Fractography 2000 (15.-18.10.2000, Stara Lesna, Slovak
Republic)
Other activity is the execution of projects of the FP5 and FP6 programs. For example, a
project of the FP6 is Development and Characterisation of Advanced Ceramic
Nanocomposites (cf. details in section 13.6 FP5 and FP6 collaborations). Further, the
whole list of the SAS' projects for FP6, is available on the Internet website:

Description: This Institute of Inorganic Chemistry is one of 70 institutions
covering the research activities of the Slovak academy of
Sciences. It focuses on the production of nano Si-N-C
powders and nano-composites by the CVD method.
The Institute is included in the Section II - The Life and Chemical
Sciences. The Section of the Life and Chemical Sciences
co-ordinates the activities of 22 scientific research institutes
which may be subdivided into 3 scientific areas, namely :
medical; biological and chemical; and agricultural and veterinary
sciences. The scientific activity of the Institute is currently
focused to the research of the inorganic and bioinorganic
systems suitable for design of new materials and/or
