Young Nano Network

The Young Nano Network is an initiative which started at October 8th 2010 during the Young Scientists' Workshop at VEGAS, University of Stuttgart, Germany. The goal of the initiative is to get scientists together who are working with nano scale (mainly zero valent iron) colloids for in-situ remediation. The focus is mainly on young scientists (e.g.: M.Sc., Ph.D., PostDoc), hence the name Young Nano. But, of course also the older and more experienced scientific generation is more than welcome to join our network and share its experience. Through this website a mailing list system is provided in order to have an easy accessible but still enclosed platform for sending emails to the whole community. The mailing list system can thus be used to access a large number of people who are all in one way or another working in the same field. This will become especially useful if you want to get answers to questions of which you do not know to whom you should pose them or in which discipline you would have to look for the right answer.

Our research field is very broad and thus interdisciplinary. We hope that this platform will provide a step towards an improved communication between young researchers. An intensive exchange between the many currently ongoing research projects dealing with nano materials in the environment will ultimately improve the results of the various scientists. So if you conduct research concerning the use of zero valent iron for groundwater remediation. want to share your knowledge. got stuck on a difficult problem and have no idea who would be the right person to ask. found a new (or old, but likely unknown) interesting paper. wrote a paper on this topic and want to share this. are visiting a conference and want to know who will be there as well. found a short-course announcement you think useful for ZVI researchers. or your group is organizing a topic related conference, workshop or lecture. want to join our upcoming regular workshops. are a professor and want to know what the next generation of students and postdocs is interested in. ... Well, then fill out the registration form on this website and join our network.
