Swiss NanoConvention
Online conference
The Swiss NanoConvention brings together Swiss and international leaders from science and industry in the field of «nano», key figures in innovation and technology, entrepreneurs, investors, administrators and politicians.
The Swiss NanoConvention is a platform for connecting people, networking, debating and exchanging ideas – or even generating new ones. Key players are able to gather the best available information on the potential, but also on the risks of one of the key emerging technologies of the 21st century, and its opportunities for innovative technologies, products and services.
In short: The Swiss NanoConvention is the prime showcase for nanotechnology in Switzerland, jointly organized by the «who-is-who» in the Swiss nano scene. It is the venue for meeting the great minds in nanoscience and -technology.
Key topics of the conference include Nano for information and communication technologies, life sciences, optics, energy and materials for a sustainable development. The two-day program will feature plenary talks, topical sessions, discussion platforms, poster sessions, ample opportunities for in-depth and informal networking and a brand new feature: the digital Job Fair.
Registration
Due to the current situation, the Swiss NanoConvention 2021 will be hold online. Participation is free of charge. Registration closes on 24 June at 8 a.m.

Ethical challenges raised by the datafication of healthcare
Interview with Professor Klaus Hoyer, University of Copenhagen
Healthcare systems all over the world have been heavily investing to improve their data infrastructures and to transition towards the digitalised era.
In this respect, having an efficient health data landscape is often presented as a necessary element both to continuously improve the quality of care and to facilitate epidemiological research and public health surveillance. But what are the ethical issues that the “datafication” of healthcare raises?
In this exciting event, we will dive into this topic with the help of Professor Klaus Hoeyer from the University of Copenhagen. Building on his extensive experience in sociology, public health, and bioethics, Professor Hoeyer will teach us about the datafication of healthcare in an interactive and discursive fashion.
After some initial welcoming regards, the event will consist of a short and provocative input talk by professor Hoeyer, followed by a live interview moderated by Andrea Martani of the Institute for Biomedical Ethics, University of Basel, and an open Q&A session with the audience.

NanoEngineering gone #viral / Optical Lithography, the key enabler for Moore’s Law
Public keynote lectures at the Swiss NanoConvention 2021 by Prof. Dr. Nicole F. Steinmetz (University of California, San Diego) and Dr. Jos Benschop (ASML)
NanoEngineering gone #viral
Nanoscale engineering is revolutionizing the way we detect, prevent and treat diseases. Viruses are playing a special role in these developments because they can function as prefabricated nanoparticles.
We utilize and build-upon the high-precision assemblies of the viral capsids and utilize them as platform technologies, engineered and repurposed for a desired function. More specifically, we turned toward plant viruses as a platform nanotechnology targeting human, veterinary and plant health applications. Through chemical biology, we have developed virus-based therapeutics and vaccines and I will highlight applications in cancer immunotherapy and COVID-19.
Prof. Dr. Nicole F. Steinmetz is a Professor of NanoEngineering at the University of California, San Diego and the Founding Director of the Center for Nano-ImmunoEngineering. She received her PhD in Bionanotechnology from the University of East Anglia, where she wrote her dissertation at the John Innes Centre, Norwich. In 2018 she became full professor at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. Thereafter she joined the University of California, San Diego. Her research interests include plant virus-based nanoparticles, vaccines and immunotherapy, drug delivery targeting human health, precision farming and agricultural nanotechnology. Among many honors she received Daniela Pucci Prize at NanoPlasm 2016 and was recognized by National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) during Women’s History Month.
Optical Lithography, the key enabler for Moore’s Law.
For more than 50 years the electronics industry has enabled a revolution in our daily life due to ever decreased feature sizes on our chips enabling faster, cheaper and more energy efficient computing and data storage. This trend is commonly referred to as Moore’s Law. To this day optical lithography has been the key enabler for Moore’s Law. As pointed out by Gordon Moore in his 1995 SPIE presentation, the “contribution from increased density from finer line widths has been constant over the last 25 years”, a trend which continues to this day.
For decades this has been made possible through a combination of wavelength reduction, increased numerical aperture (NA) and pushing imaging closer to the physical limit. The latest transition of wavelength has been the largest step in wavelength ever: from 193 nm ArF to 13.5nm EUV light. A transition which took decades of research and development leading to the first commercial phones, with ICs patterned using EUV, on the market in 2019.
In the presentation it will be summarized how a ASML grow from small spin-off to a multinational leading in technology and market share. Solutions to technical challenges that had to be overcome for EUV lithography will be shared, e.g. the atomic flat aspheric optics and the high power EUV source. State-of-art performance as well as next steps in the optical lithography roadmap will be shared.
Dr. Jos Benschop received his MSc (cum laude) and PhD from physics faculty in Twente University. From 1984 until 1997 he worked at Philips on optical metrology and optical recording. He joined ASML in 1997. As Senior Vice President Technology he is responsible for research and system engineering within ASML. He has published 30+ papers and generated 20+ patents. He is an SPIE fellow and part-time professor “NNV leerstoel Industriële Natuurkunde” at the University of Twente. He is a member of the Netherlands Academy of Technology and Innovation . He has been appointed by the Dutch king as advisor to the Dutch government on science, technology and innovation.

Latein-Sommerschule
Online-Kurs: In zehn Wochen zum Latinum
Latein-Sommerschule – jetzt als Online-Kurs. (Bild: zvg) Erwerben Sie das an Schweizer Universitäten anerkannte Zertifikat vom 5. Juli bis 10. September 2021 in unserer Online-Sommerschule.
Die Latein-Sommerschule stellt in Bezug auf Sprachniveau, Autorenlektüre und Kenntnis der römischen Kultur ein Äquivalent zur Latein-Matur am Gymnasium dar und wird als Latinum voll anerkannt.
Die Sommerschule dauert zehn Wochen (Unterricht jeweils Montag, Dienstag, Donnerstag und Freitag, vormittags – voraussichtlich mit begleitendem Tutorat nachmittags). Ein Kulturprogramm ergänzt den Unterricht. Der Unterricht findet ausschliesslich online per Zoom statt.
Der Kurs umfasst eine Sprachlernphase und eine Lektürephase (Ovid, Cicero). Dank der intensiven und individuellen Lernbetreuung in einer kleineren Gruppe kann das anspruchsvolle Lernziel bei regelmässiger Kursteilnahme erreicht werden. Als Übungsmöglichkeit steht das Latinum electronicum zur Verfügung.
Der Kurs richtet sich an:
- Studierende der Universität Basel, die das Latinum für das Bachelor- oder Masterstudium benötigen, sowie alle anderen Studierenden der Universität Basel, die die Chance eines Intensivkurses nutzen wollen, um ihr Studium zeiteffizient zu bereichern und eine Zusatzqualifikation zu erwerben
- Studierende, die bereits an einer anderen Universität eingeschrieben sind
- Interessierte, die (noch) nicht an der Universität Basel eingeschrieben sind, jedoch schon vor Beginn ihres Studiums an der Universität Basel oder einer anderen Universität die notwendigen Lateinkenntnisse erwerben möchten
- alle anderen Interessierten, die das Latinum erwerben möchten.
