Training
The CNT Ltd organise and facilitate custom made training courses, workshops, discussion panels and events designed to provide the latest information and discuss future trends related to nanotechnology and nanomaterials. Discussion panel and presentation events could be recorded and facilitated as the road mapping exercise.
We offer a range of courses that could be tailored to suit the needs of your organisation. The course modules are delivered by leading experts in the field and from our network of consultants. You can pick and mix from the list of our modules and design the course that you desire. The courses are delivered in various locations in Cambridge. Lunch and refreshments are provided and in case of courses for more than one day a dinner in the bountiful surroundings of the Cambridge colleges could be organised. However, we would be able to organise courses at the premises of your organisation or at some other location.
Course modules:
- Introduction to Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials
