Within the project, different Workshops are realized which are also open to external auditors. The first one takes place on April 24, 2006 at Technical University of Ilmenau. Topic: Scanning Probe Arrays. Currently scheduled courses are published on the Pronano Website www.pronano.org.
A web-based course module will be available in the end of 2006. It will allow the users to train themselves at their personal computer and thus avoide time consuming traveling to external course locations. The topic of the first module will be “Sensing Techniques and Actuation Principles for Cantilever Deflection”.
Encouragement of mobility of researchers and the appointment of PhD students is also an activity of this Work Package. In the end of the first year, 19 students and young researchers are participating in the activities of the project and numerous working visits and meetings between the project partners took place.
Different dissemination activities include for example articles in magazines and newsletters as well as talks at conferences and publications. The aim is to inform a wider public about the activities of the network and to publish concrete results.
