VENUE:
Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland
DATES:
June 16-17, 2005
ABOUT THE MEETING:
The NanoPol 2005 would present the science's viewpoint on industrial problems utilizing
nanomechanical testing. It will bring together the top researchers and students
with common interests in a popular but poorly understood area of nanoindentation.
All students, researchers and people working in the field of nanotechnology
are encouraged to attend.
MEETING FORMAT:
Tutorial talks will be given in the morning, followed by hands on lab sessions,
where live nanomechanical testing will be demonstrated. Some participants registered
by June 10th will get an opportunity to have their samples tested.
Free meals and coffee breaks are sponsored by Hysitron for the registered participants.
MEETING FEE:
The workshop is FREE for the registered participants.
Seating is limited, so please register early.
DEADLINES:
Registration deadline: June 10th, 2005.
The deadline passed and the workshop registration is already closed!

SOME WORDS ABOUT KRAKOW:
Krakow is a city of one million people in the very heart of Europe. Poland's former
capital, the cradle and Pantheon of Polish kings, it is also a city of learning
with one of the oldest universities in Europe. Krakow is a city of one hundred thousand
university students. It is a city of meetings, festivals and conferences. Moreover,
it has preserved its individual body of structure and buildings. The functionality of its
thirteenth-century urban plan can be seen in the fact that it still works today:
now as then, cultural, administrative and commercial life is focused around Krakow's
40,000-square-meter town square, the largest one in Europe.
