International Conference on Semiconductor Variability
The International Conference on Semiconductor Variability will bring together world experts from both Academia and Industry such as IMEC, STARC Japan, IBM Watson Centre, ARM and TSMC to provide conference delegates with an in-depth insight into the challenges that variability presents the Industry at sub 65nm nodes.
INC3 will provide a forum allowing all major nanoelectronics/nanotechnology research organisations & programs in Europe (EC, MEDEA+, national and regional) to present themselves to the global community. Since the INC conference is held for the first time in Europe, the major European stakeholders in nanoelectronics will be prominently involved and present --- hence, the conference will offer ample networking opportunities.
With an anticipated international attendance of 300+ R&D directors & management from global companies, research organisations and universities involved in nanoelectronics and nanotechnology, and senior officers from public authorities, funding agencies and supporting organisations -- INC3 will again offer a forum for in-depth discussions on the future of international collaboration in nanotechnologies.

European Nano Day The "European Nano Day" will be held in Brussels on April 16: The *“European Nano Day”* is organized by ENIAC as a Pre-Conference Symposium in conjunction with the *Third International Nanotechnology Conference on Communication and Cooperation (INC3)*. It is held with the aim of informing the international community on European efforts in the fields of nanoelectronics and nanotechnology, and will give an overview of selected initiatives in Europe.
The event, consisting of oral presentations and a poster session, will provide to the participants a representative overview of the European and national cooperative programs in the fields of Nanoelectronics and Nanotechnology and also offers a unique networking opportunity for European stakeholders.
Participation in the "European Nano Day" is free of charge, but registration is required (http://www.inc3.be/Registration.htm). Early registration for INC3 ends on *23 March*.
The European Nanotechnology Trade Alliance (ENTA) and Enterprise Ireland will provide an FP7 NanoMicro brokerage event on the 21st of March for industrial and academic researchers seeking project opportunities and partners. A total of EUR 3.5 billion has been earmarked for the NMP Programme over the duration of FP7 and the ICT Programme budget is EUR 9.0 billion. There are also NanoMicro opportunities under other programmes such as Health, Energy and Food.
The day will consist of presentations to 1) introduce Irish participants into proposals; 2) link companies into FP7 proposals led by Irish coordinators.
Presentations will be given by a variety of organizations including Intel, Enterprise Ireland, NTERA, the Tyndall National Institute and successful participants in FP6.
Project coordinators in the process of building a consortium are invited to give short presentations and SMEs that have had success in FP6 or are seeking FP7 funds are also encouraged to give presentations. Write to Del Stark (del.stark@euronanotrade.com) to express your interest in making a presentation. Project coordinators and company representatives from outside Ireland, especially from the UK, are encouraged to attend.
A variety of projects are being developed including, but not limited to: * Designing materials and devices from the bottom up * Self assembly * Nanotechnology upscaling * Magnetic nanostructures * Nanotech risk assessment * Multifunctional mats for vehicles incl. sensors Attendance is free, however space is limited. Please register to attend this event by using the registration form found at: www.euronanotrade.com/news/RegistrationFP7Ireland.doc. The event will take place on the 21st of March at the Enterprise Ireland Conference Theatre (Glasnevin, Dublin 9) from 10.00 to 16.30
Del Stark, CEO European Nanotechnology Trade Alliance Garscube Technology Complex Garscube Estate Bearsden Road Glasgow G61 1QH ENTA offers an integrated programme aimed at promoting the benefits of nanotechnology and mitigating regulatory and reputational risk for the whole industry and supporting all actions that ensure new nanotechnologies are developed in a safe and responsible manner.
In addition to the above, ENTA represents the interests of nanotechnology businesses across Europe and acts to bridge the gap between industry, governments, science, and importantly, the public in promoting the benefits of nanotechnology. Although nanotechnologies have been under development for many years it is only relatively recently that the issues behind the science have risen up the political and news agenda, obviously in differing degrees across member states. As such the coming months will be a vital period in shaping the future development and application of nanotechnologies. del.stark@euronanotrade.com www.euronanotrade.com tel: +44 (0) 141 330 2143 fax: +44 (0) 141 330 2144
This upcoming event aims at bringing together researchers from across Europe, to discuss proposal ideas related specifically to the engineering and manufacturing issues of Challenge 3 of the 2007/08 ICT Theme. Apart from providing information on the topics under Calls 1 and 2 and the Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) initiative the meeting will also provide a platform for information exchange and the formation of R&D partnerships.
Please find attached a preliminary agenda, the registration form as well as a description on how to reach the venue.
