A. Outline of the program

Osaka University Global Center of Excellence (GCOE) Program of "Center for Electronic Devices Innovation" organizes a residential, four-week summer seminar program for young researchers "AMP2008" focusing on the topic in electronic devices, which will be held on July 7 - August 1, 2008. The seminar will mainly take place at Osaka University as a research internship program. The purpose of the seminar is to provide young researchers with opportunities to learn the research topics of frontier electronic devices, progressed within the GCOE program.

B. Program contents

The program consists of a four-week international research and several activities.

International Research Experience

• ・Internship research focusing on theoretical or experimental electronic devices at
  one of the prestigious laboratories in Osaka University.
• ・Meeting for research reports by participants in the final week.
  The research experience will enable the participants to:
• –Conduct hands-on research in electronic devices through collaboration in an international research effort
• –Develop inter-cultural skills through placement in a Japanese research laboratory
• –Establish strong research networks to facilitate further study and international collaboration in the field of electronic devices

Other Activities

The program is planning several events as follows.

Activity Plans

First week	7/7	Orientation and Welcome Party
	7/10	Lectures by Prof. Seizo Morita and Prof. Dimitri Antoniadis (MIT, USA)
