NANOWIRES 2015

NANOWIRE GROWTH WORKSHOP
The Nanowire Growth Workshop is intended to provide a forum for lively discussion on the growth of semiconductor nanowires. This is the ninth edition of the workshop and follows those held in Lund (Sweden 2006 and 2007), Duisburg (Germany 2008), Paris (France 2009), Rome (Italy 2010), St. Petersburg (Russia 2012), Lausanne (Switzerland 2013), and Eindhoven (Netherlands 2014).

NANOWIRES WORKSHOP
This is the seventh in a successful series of annual workshops on the physics, chemistry and applications of nanowires. The series began 2008 in Lyon (France) as a small meeting of 40 participants within the CECAM workshop program. Workshops have since been held in Lausanne (Switzerland 2009), Crete (Greece 2010), Lesvos (Greece 2011), Berlin (Germany 2012), Rehovot (Israel 2013), and Eindhoven (Netherlands 2014).

NGW AND NW ARE NOW FACE-2-FACE

Since 2014 these two workshops are held together.
After the great success of last year edition in Eindhoven, we are bringing together the Nanowire Growth Workshop and Nanowires one more year for a week of intensive nanowire experience. 
This workshop series stands out in its spirit and as an informal ground for exchange of ideas in this constantly growing field of research.

We truly look forward to welcoming you!
