Nanotechnology (NT) is among the fastest growing fields in STEM sciences. There is a growing recognition that NT is poised to become a major part of worldwide economy & a very potential employer of young scientists. All these facts, point to an increasingly worldwide ecosystem of research & innovation in NT. In order to support the continued development of NT, is important that NT education to be a priority to accelerate research excellence. The impact of photonics in the various sectors of NT is substantial. The impressive progress NT has experienced could not be advanced without photonic tools & techniques. Knowledge of Photonics, fundamental principles, techniques and devices, is one of most critical skills that a scientist, of any discipline, should has. This has realised in the research level but not in educational level. Innovative Photonic Education in Nanotechnology (iPEN) primary objective is to provide an innovated education & training, mainly to postgraduate students and/or researcher across any STEM discipline in the most modern photonic processes & equipment used in NT. The project envisions the facilitation of the individual learner’s understanding in photonic-based techniques & devices and thus the easiest & fastest adoption within the lab procedures. The courses or components that will be developed may be included in online repositories and used not just as a whole, but rather be separated into distinct components and serve two purposes: they can either be sources of learning materials for future course developers or as ready to use independent online components for classical teaching methods. In both cases they can be re-assembled, reused, repurposed or redistributed by others. Other secondary priorities of the iPEN are (a) the development of scholars teaching abilities, online teaching literacy, (b) to provide information for the importance of the soft skills development and how to develop them for higher employability.
