- Nano-Molecular Analysis for Emerging Technologies III & Surface Science of Biologically Important Interfaces 10
-
Nov 5, 2008 - Nov 6, 2008,
National Physical Laboratory (NPL) London, England, United KingdomUnderstanding and controlling the behaviour of biological molecules at interfaces is fundamental to many emerging technologies, including novel medical devices, biochemical assays and nano-medicine. Obtaining such understanding presents a challenge for surface analysts because traditional methods do not provide the necessary detail and, additionally, may alter the surface during analysis. Novel approaches are therefore required.
This two-day meeting will focus upon advances in the analysis of biological materials under ambient conditions, through such methods as scanning probe microscopy and emerging mass spectrometry, and the interaction of biological systems with surfaces and nanoparticles. The highly successful NMAET series concentrates on in-depth, frontier issues in surface and nano-analysis and this year's meeting will be held in conjunction with the 10th SSBII meeting. Both NMAET and SSBII attract world-leading scientists from industry and academia, and this meeting will enable a lively and engaging discussion on the frontier issues in biomolecular surface analysis. - full details

- Living Spaces, Spatial Issues: Between Ordinary Investment and Political Mobilization
-
Nov 5, 2008 - Nov 7, 2008,
University of Rennes 2 and IEP Rennes FranceThe social sciences' approach to the spatial dimension of social and political relations usually corresponds to divisions between the disciplines and to each discipline’s particular ways of framing problems. They consequently tend to separate questions pertaining to the living spaces of social actors, from those relative to the construction of public issues (high stake spaces or spatialized issues) through collective mobilizations and politico-administrative authorities. The aim of this conference is to examine this separation and to consider the continuities and discontinuities as well as the articulations between the ordinary investment of space, and more organized or institutionalized mobilization, both bottom-up (non-profit associations, collectives, social movements) and top-down (public agencies or measures).
