Engineering education.Location: Brasilia was constructed between 1956 and 1960 and inaugurated, as the new Brazilian Capital, in April 21, 1960. Its master plan ("Plano Piloto") was conceived by Lucio Costa, and its major buildings were designed by Oscar Niemeyer. Known internationally for the modernity of its architecture and urban design in the shape of an airplane (or a bird, as Lucio Costa conceived it), Brasilia has been declared by the UNESCO as "World Heritage Site". The city and its District are located in the Central-West region of the country, along a plateau known as Planalto Central.

SWOT Analysis of the Technology/Design Ecosystem", Lausanne, 30-31 May 2012

NANO-TEC Workshop 3; SWOT Analysis of Technology-Design Ecosystem: The event is part of the Coordination Action funded by the FP7 under the ICT theme, titled “ECOSYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY and DESIGN for NANOELECTRONICS” (NANO-TEC). The project started on 1 September 2010 and it aims at identifying the emerging generation of device concepts and technologies for ICT, as well as to build a joint technology-design community in order to coordinate research efforts in nanoelectronics in the European research area. 

The third workshop will tackle the topics of Solid-state quantum computing, Molecular Electronics, Nanowires, Spintronics, Graphene, MEMS and Neuromorphic Computing; finally, a panel discussion on the bridge in design from technology to application will close the event. All this will lead to the preparation of the fourth and final NANO-TEC workshop, to take place in Autumn 2012, which will provide a set of recommendations on the most promising devices and technologies identified and for future technology-design integration. In preparation for the workshop you can now join the forum available online at the following link:
