This Xth International Krutyn Summer School – “Frontiers in Science and Technology of Carbon Nano-Materials" - aims at the state-of-the-art training in the form of lectures and consulting sessions designed for Ph.D. students and young researchers seeking to reinforce their knowledge and skills in the field of carbon nanomaterials. Top experts in this area will deliver lectures and consulting sessions. The school is intended both for people already active in this R&D field, as well as for those new to the field. A number of social events will be also planned to relax after the full and intensive program, including: bonfire, boats on Krutynia River, guided or individual out-door activities (kayaking, trekking, horse-riding, bike, etc.)SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMETheoretical background1.
