Venue: National Centre of Excellence for Advanced Research in Agricultural Nanotechnology, TERI-Deakin Nanobiotechnology Centre, TERI Gram, The Energy and Resources Institute, Gual Pahari, Gurgaon Faridabad Road, Gurgaon, Haryana 122 001, India

National Centre of Excellence for Advanced Research in Agricultural Nanotechnology is organising a 3-days hands-on training programme for researchers working in the area of agricultural nano-biotechnology from across the country. The training programme will be conducted by the experienced faculty members of TERI-Deakin Nanobiotechnology Centre and AIIMS. The training program will focus on assessment of agriculturally relevant nanoproducts for potential toxicity to humans, for achieving the ultimate goal of development of safe by design nanoproducts. Training using the standard guidelines to achieve accurate outcomes will be another important highlight of the program, which will help in capacity building for such investigations in the country.

Who should participate?

• Technical Heads, Researchers, Academicians, Graduate Students, Government Officers etc.
