October 22, 2009 - Dr. David Lundberg, Director of the CNSI Global Partnership Program, met with members of Nano Connect Scandinavia, a newly formed consortium of universities in Southern Sweden and Denmark with programs in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Among the consortium are the University of Lund, Chalmers University of Technology, Technical University of Denmark, University of Copenhagen, and the University of Gothenburg. The consortium's purpose is to connect member institutions with facilities engaged in nanoscale research in Europe, North America, and Asia and to facilitate links with private industry and the investment community. Funding is provided by the European Regional Development Fund and Oresund University. Dr. Lundberg visited the consortium to discuss possible collaborative enterprises and educational exchanges between CNSI and Scandinavian universities.

In another potential collaboration, Dr. Lundberg and CNSI hosted a visit by a delegation from MESA+, a large nanotechnology research institute at the University of Twente in The Netherlands. The delegation toured the CNSI building, met with CNSI members to discuss potential research projects, and attended a reception in the evening at CNSI. The reception host was Mr. Bart van Bolhuis, Consul General of the Netherlands Consulate for Los Angeles and San Francisco and closing remarks were made by UCLA Vice Chancellor for Research Roberto Peccei and CNSI Director Paul Weiss.
