Purpose
The workshop is organised by British Council under the Initiative for International Networking for Young Scientists (INYS). This initiative is dedicated to encouraging and facilitating the mobility of, and direct contact between, young researchers. It supports face-to-face meetings between young scientists and engineers from the UK and other countries, for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and information and the building of international connections that assist the innovation process.

INYS initiative is specifically targeted at post-doctoral researchers or people who have been tenured for five years or less. The intention is to avoid established collaborations and concentrate on new faces and encouraging new links. PhD students can be included, to encourage them to have direct contact with researchers in other countries, put forward original research ideas and contribute to the development of links, with a view to applying for postdoctoral fellowships.

The information about project funding schemes and preparing research project proposals will be presented by Dr Martin Penny, Director of UK Research Office.

Scope
Main topics of the workshop are:
Investigation and modification of biological materials
Synthesis and investigation of macromolecular structures for nanotechnology
Instrumentation development
