Next Generation of Optimists
Workshop Chair: Huynh Thien Ngo
International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA)
National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)
Date: 31st July - 1st August, 2017
Venue: Auditorium, WPI-MANA building,
Namiki site, NIMS, Tsukuba, JAPAN

Scope
The key of success in Material and Nanoscience research lay in the understanding of the interplay of different fields; chemistry, physics, biology etc. This workshop gathers experts of various research areas to create an incentive workshop where not only seminars play an important role, but the interdisciplinary and collaborative interactions form the core of the meeting. International invited speakers have gained esteem in their respected field. Among them are young rising stars, which will lead the Next Generation of Optimistic and creative young scientists.
