Education and Training in N2L I- shall form the basis of future EIN curriculum II- shall be of use for « present members/YS » ƒ characterised by the «3i »-s: ¾ interdisciplinarity ¾ internationality ¾ integration

ƒ state-of-the-art teaching methods ƒ shall cover all aspects (science, IPR, ethics, gender,…. ƒ shall be flexible, not strictly located in one site Nano2Life

26-27 May 2005, GNN Workshop, Saarbrücken

Education strategy • Short-term – Documenting existing resources and N2L labelling relevant education/training forms – Identifying gaps and needs – Sharing resources – Supporting relevant summer schools and workshops – Tutorials (bridging gaps)

• Long-term – Development and recommendation of N2L curriculum (masters and PhD levels) – Establishing N2L doctoral schools (post graduate level) – Development of N2L own summer school Nano2Life 26-27 May 2005, GNN Workshop, Saarbrücken

Reality vs. N2L curriculum • Education policy/curriculum is different in different countries/individual institutions • N2L should act as an advisory board recommending guidelines providing the framework for establishing courses and curriculum for education in nanobiotechnology

Nano2Life

26-27 May 2005, GNN Workshop, Saarbrücken

Basic principles • considering principles of biological systems, ranging from molecular, through cellular to the whole body • covering physics and chemistry of molecules of biological importance, their assembly into supramolecular systems and cells • covering principles and applications of nano/microfabrication and properties of nano- and microdevices. • merging all of the above into nanobiosystems driven by possible applications.

Nano2Life

26-27 May 2005, GNN Workshop, Saarbrücken

Structure • Module I – Foundations of NBT- atoms, molecules and cells (e.g. Chemistry and Physics for Biologists; Biomolecules for Engineers and Physical Scientists; Cell Biology for Engineers and Physical Scientists)

• Module II – Core NBT– the tools (e.g. Microfabrication Technologies; Nanofabrication; Characterisation. Biological Systems, imaging techniques,

• Module III – NBT Systems- integration in systems driven by potential benefits and applications (e.g. medical diagnostics and therapeutics; lab-on-achip, micro and nanofluidics, BioMEMS,…

• Module IV – Development/Research project Nano2Life

26-27 May 2005, GNN Workshop, Saarbrücken

Other education forms • all covered by same principles • shall involve IPR, gender & ethics education • shall be given in English • summer schools and workshops shall combine theory with hands-on moments ¾preferably involve industrial participation Nano2Life

26-27 May 2005, GNN Workshop, Saarbrücken

Other education forms • Tutorials, at JPA and annual meetings ¾ basics of biochemistry ¾ stem cells, gene therapy and neurogenesis ¾ surface analytical tools

• E-learning ¾ e-handbook ¾ virtual laboratories

• Technical woorkshops with industry ¾ imaging techniques, TAU, planned for Autumn 2005
