The First International Conference on Multifunctional, Hybrid and Nanomaterials in Tours, 15-19 March 2009. conference website: http://www.hybridmaterialsconference.com
The main objective of this new interdisciplinary conference is to bring together, for the first time at a truly international level, people with shared interests in hybrid materials.
The conference will start on Sunday (15 March) at 14:00 and finish on Thursday (19 March) at 16:00. Each day will start will a Plenary Lecture followed by 3 parallel symposia focusing on the following topics: Biohybrids and biomaterials; Bottom-up approaches to functional nanomaterials and nanocomposites; Functional porous materials.
Abstracts are invited for oral and poster presentation on the above topics. Abstracts should be submitted via the Online Submission Form by 15 September 2008. For online submission and further information see the conference webpage http://www.hybridmaterialsconference.com

EMMI, the European Multifunctional Materials Institute, has now been officially registered as a Belgian non-profit organisation (AISBL). Its website www.emmi-materials.eu will gradually be expanded to take over the functions of this site and the FAME intranet.
See the attached brochure for an overview of EMMI's activities and organisation, and contact details.

The Department of Materials Physics, Uni Liege, offers a PhD thesis in: Theory and ab-initio modelling of nanos-structures in functional oxides. Knowledge of French language is required. For more info see the attached file.
