Workshop on Novel Coherence-Based Radiology

Welcome to the Second Joint Taiwanese-Swiss Workshop on
“Nanotechnology: towards novel materials”
Scientists operating in Taiwan and Switzerland have a long history of collaborations in
many scientific and technological areas. The motivating factors are the overlap of the
interest, the comparable and high level of the research program, the similar needs of
industry and many friendly personal ties. The conditions exist now for a substantial
increase in the level and scope of such collaborations. This is the main objective of the
series of workshops. The theme corresponds to the most promising area of expanded
cooperation: nanoscience and nanotechnology. In four days, several exponents from the
two sides will present their research in a rather informal way with ample time for
discussions. Based on the previous experience of similar bilateral events, the result will
be a boost in collaborative programs, exchanges and, in general, contacts within and
beyond the scientific and technological domain.
The meeting will take place in Taipei, the capital and the center of technology and
culture of Taiwan, and then Hualien, one of the best-known Taiwanese sites throughout
the world. The label second in its name is a clear message: this is not meant to be an
isolated event but following the great success in Zermatt 2003 and this time taking
place in Taiwan.

commercial prosperity. Now, the open area along the
waterfront is crammed with food stalls selling many kinds
of snack food for which the town has become famous; a
