The books were presented at the School of Engineering Sciences by Madam Ylenia Citino, a representative of the Deputy Head of Mission of the Italian Embassy in Accra.</p> <p>In a speech read for him, the Deputy Head of Mission of the Italian embassy Mr. Lorenzo Pinelli, lauded the ICTP’s goals of providing scientists from developing countries with advanced research skills and training opportunities unavailable in their home countries for long and productive careers. This he noted has helped in stemming the scientific brain drain from developing countries.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/mse/sites/mse/files/_DSC7550.JPG" style="width: 500px; height: 335px; float: left;" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><em>Madam Ylenia Citino, Prof. Ebenezer Oduro Owusu, Prof. Samuel Sefa-Dedeh</em></p> <p>In accepting the books on behalf of the School of Engineering Sciences, the Provost of the College of Basic and Applied Sciences (CBAS), Prof. Ebenezer Oduro Owusu lauded the Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Dr. David Dodoo-Arhin, for facilitating the donation during a visit to the ICTP in May 2015. He used the occasion to urge the Italian embassy to help strengthen a partnership between the CBAS, ICTP and Italian Institutions through postgraduate training and capacity building.</p> <p>The Acting Dean, School of Engineering Sciences (SES), Prof. Samuel Sefa-Dedeh was also thankful for the assistance from the ICTP and looked forward to further partnership with other Italian Institutions.</p> <p>Present at the ceremony were the College Secretary (CBAS), Mr Emmanuel Baidoo, Heads of Departments and faculty of the School of Engineering Sciences.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/mse/sites/mse/files/_DSC7517.JPG" style="width: 500px; height: 335px;" /></p> <p><em>A Cross-section of attendees</em></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-article-type field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Article Type:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/mse/article-type/event" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">event</a></div></div></div> Wed, 26 Aug 2015 10:41:42 +0000 mse 157 at http://www.ug.edu.gh/mse http://www.ug.edu.gh/mse/article/ictp-italy-donates-books-dept-materials-science-engineering#comments MRS Africa 2015 Conference http://www.ug.edu.gh/mse/article/mrs-africa-2015-conference <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>The 8<sup>th</sup> International Conference of the Africa Materials Research Society dubbed (MRS-Africa 2015) will be hosted by the University of Ghana scheduled as follows:</p> <ul> <li> <h3 style="color:blue;"><strong style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;">Dates</strong><span style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;">:  </span><em style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;">6<sup>th</sup>- 11<sup>th</sup> December, 2015</em></h3> </li> <li> <h3 style="color:blue;"><span style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;"> </span><strong style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;">Venue</strong><span style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;">: </span><em style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;">MENSVIC Grand Hotel, East Legon, Accra</em></h3> </li> <li> <h3 style="color:blue;"><strong style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;">Side Attraction:</strong><span style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;"> </span><em style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;">Conference Dinner, Tour of Cape Coast Castle and Kakum National Park</em></h3> </li> <li> <h3 style="color:blue;"><strong style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;">Call for Abstract:</strong><em style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;"> April 1 – September 20 , 2015</em></h3> </li> </ul> <p>The conference anticipates about 400 - 500 participants from across Africa, Europe, Asia and the America.

All text including title and figures (if any) should fit within these margins. Use 12 point Times New Roman single-spaced type for the main body of the text, 14 point for the title. Your abstract should include the title, list of authors, affiliations with addresses, the text, keywords and email for the speaker (and corresponding author if different) in that order. The name of the presenter should be underlined. We will assume you prefer an oral presentation unless you specifically request a poster presentation. Please list the possible Symposium or Theme at the bottom of your abstract (on a separate line) to help us best place your presentation in the program. We prefer that you prepare your abstract in Microsoft Word format.
