For this end, we invite all interested parties to further contribute by sharing your knowledge and ideas through here.
About the INL Academy
The goal of the INL Academy is to integrate knowledge and skills from the nanotechnology and business disciplines within a robust theoretical and practical framework so to prepare the next generation of both: scientists and engineers, as well as managers and entrepreneurs, that will jointly drive innovation in this prospering and vast advancing domain. The INL Academy will be implemented by drawing on the state-of-the-art in education design and organization, taking full advantage of today’s available Information and Communication Technologies and contemporary supporting pedagogies. The approach should be truly interdisciplinary and transversal and include the application of theory in practice in combination with original research. To reach those objectives will require to also establish a robust and supportive network bringing together the different stakeholders from academia, research organizations, and the industry.
