Finalists for the student competition




The first NanoWorcester Symposium in 2011, held at MCPHS, attracted 52 participants from central New England, twenty of whom presented posters. It was a friendly and enjoyable event, focused on nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanomedicine.

Please participate in the second NanoWorcester Symposium on Saturday, March 17, 2012 at WPI.  This year, we shall feature a student "elevator-speech" and poster competition in the afternoon (anticipated prize pool of $1000), after a morning of talks by invited speakers from central New England and farther afield.  Web registration will close at 6:00 am on Monday, March 12th.  You may also register at the registration desk the day of the meeting.  Abstract submission is now closed.
