Prof. Eduard Yakubov, president of HIT greeted the audience together with Mr. Rafi Koriat, joint chairman of Nano Israel, which leads the academy-industry collaboration in the field of Nanotechnology, Prof. Ezra Zeev, Dean of the Faculty of Sciences and Dr. Yosef Ben Ezra, Dean of the faculty of Engineering at HIT

During the conference, Prof Yossi Rosenwaks has presented an advanced system of controlling the width of transitions channels and its location in transistors, which enables flexibility and adaptation of these transistors as sensors or switches. Dr. Ervin Tal-Gutelmacher, the R&D manager at Elbit Energy & Power Department, at Elbit System Land and C4, presented the application of Nanomaterials in the production process of energy ad its conservation.

During the conference, students works were presented on posters and an award of 500 NIS, was given to David Rachmilevich, third degree student at the lab Dr. Oren Tal from the Faculty of Chemistry at the Weizmann Institute, for his work on Molecular Electronics.

The conference is a joint initiative of the Faculty of engineering and the Faculty of sciences and was led by Dr. Amos Bardea from the Faculty of Engineering and Dr. Alla Zak, head of Nano-materials at the Faculty of Sciences.

Prof. Rosenwaks, Dean of the faculty of engineering at Tel Aviv University

Dr. Amos Bardea: "The conference had united both advanced technologies and the academy in a way that is crucial to the flow of knowledge between them, for the sake of development of advanced technologies based on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology".

Dr.Alla Zak: "there are many conferences about Nanotechnology, but this conference was unique due to its' special nature: both lecturers and students aiming at implemental research and the winning combination of science and engineering".
