Aims of the Project
NANOGASTOR
  • Investigation of nanoporous materials
    (Zeolites,MOFs.) most adapted for the
    storage/separation of specific gas molecules
    (CH4, CO2, H2)
  • ? Ideal Platform for the training of Ph.D
    Postdocs
  • Research carried out in two continents
  • Dual fields of experiment and simulation in
    different specialities (Synthesis,
    Adsorption-Catalysis, Diffusion)
  • Fruitful exchanges LA-EU more durable
    collaborations
  • ? Research aims
  • Simulation tools to design zeolites and zeotype
    materials
  • Create Develop specific synthesis strategies
  • Predict Adsorption, Catalytic Diffusion
    properties
  • Confront predicted properties with experimental
    evaluation (XRD, Microcalorimetry, PFG NMR)

Student Exchange
NANOGASTOR
  • Official advertisement in the home institution
  • Application form CVs for the selected
    candidates
  • 13 Students (Ph.D Postdocs) 6(Cuba), 5
    (Mexico), 2 (Brazil)
  • Partition over the 3 years- For the 1st year 4
    students (3 for 6 months 1 for 12 months)
  • Mobility grant 1500 euros/month
  • Co-tutelle for Ph.D when possible?

8
Experienced Researcher
NANOGASTOR
  • 10 Stays 5 (LA-EU) 5 (EU-LA)
  • Partition over the 3 years- For the 1st year 2
    exchanges for 1 month (1 LA-EU 1 EU-LA)
  • Mobility grant 1500 euros/month

Finances
NANOGASTOR
  • Student Mobility
  • Preparation for the mobility Administration
    support to the reception of the students Not
    covered by EU but can be justified as expenses
    for 600 500 respectively.
  • Mobility grants more or less about 1500
    (depending on the administration support costs).
    Should be required to the co-ordinator at least 2
    months in advance for the total period of the
    exchange. The money will be transferred to the
    host university
  • Travel The airplane ticket will be reimbursed
    by the co-ordinator after justification for the
    amount
  • ?Language training if required co-financing up
    to 25 by EU

10
Finances
NANOGASTOR
  • Student Mobility (continuation)
  • Laboratory expenses Maximum 225 /student/ month
    with 50 covered by EU.
  • Each host institution should fill out a request
    form at this end of the mobility with appropriate
    justifications.
  • Tutor Professor Allowances
  • Air plane tickets directly booked by the
    co-ordinator
  • Allowance (accommodation meals) Max 110 /
    day with justification and with a maximum stay of
    4 5 days for meetings seminars respectively.

Administration Co-ordination costs Not
covered by EU
11
Seminars-Meetings
NANOGASTOR
  • 4 meetings 3 in LA and the last one in Europe
  • Date Location for the next one?

Year Meeting location Participants (in addition to the host)
1 UNAM, Mexico (Synthesis-Characterisation) UH (1), UFRJ(1), CSIC (1), UVSQ(1) UP (1)
2 UFRJ, Brazil (Adsorption-Catalysis) UH(2), UNAM(2), UP(2) UCL (1)
3 UH, Cuba (Diffusion) UNAM (2), UFRJ(1), UP (1) LU(1)
  • 15 seminars (see list) can be slightly modified
    (speakers..)

12
Samples- Gas
NANOGASTOR
  • ? Ideas for benchmark materials
  • zeolites (ITQ-?,Aluminosilicates?)
  • SAPO-MAPO / MOF?
  • Structure-Adsorption-Diffusion experiments
  • - who? Samples? Gases?
  • Quantities required by each partner
  • Logbook with the history of each sample

13
Open Discussion
NANOGASTOR
  • ? Web site
  • Plan for the next few months..
