June 18, 2013 - The 6th biannual conference, EuroNanoForum 2013, will gather experts and decision-makers of the nanotechnology community to Dublin this June. EuroNanoForum 2013 is the largest nanotechnology conference in Europe and will focus on the impact of nanotechnology in improving peoples lives, especially in the key societal sectors such as health, energy and environment. The event coincides with Nanotech Europe exhibition and the Nanoweek Ireland. "The conference showcases innovation as a driver of economic growth. New technologies arising from nanoscience and their applications are presented and potential new end products are discussed", describes Herbert von Bose, Director, European Commission, DG Research & Innovation, Industrial Technologies.

November 5, 2013 - Since 2007, Center of Excellence for High Performance Materials, University of Tehran, has successfully arranged a series of bi-annual conferences focused on Ultrafine Grained and Nano-Structured Materials. The purpose of these meetings is to allow those interested in the field to get together to present their research in a setting that fosters discussion, collaboration, and advancement in the field.The 4th conference is jointly organized by University of Tehran, Iran and University of Patras, Greece. Selected papers presented in this conference will be peer reviewed and published in international journals.

April 9, 2013 - Significant developments in the past year in finance, business and politics have set the stage for groundbreaking advances in nanotechnology commercialization. Dont miss this conference to learn more and network with the key players in this field.The Nanotech Commercialization Conference is the preeminent nanotechnology conference to be held in the South this year. Nanotech innovators, cutting edge start-ups, leading researchers, public policy leaders and visionaries will be in attendance. Over the last decade, the nanotechnology field has turned the corner from science fiction to multi-billion dollar business, rapidly becoming the center of the materials science field, and has made major game-changing innovations in clean energy, electronics and biotechnology.For the second year, The NanoBusiness Commercialization Association joins the N.C. Department of Commerce and the Center of Innovation for Nanobiotechnology to co-host the Nanotechnology Commercialization Conference, a groundbreaking event for international nanotechnology stakeholders.For several years, North Carolina has been recognized as a top state for nanotechnology research and practical application,saidJohn Hardin, Executive Director of the Office of Science & Technology in the North Carolina Department of Commerce.This conference, which focuses on moving nanoscience from the lab to the global market, will both highlight North Carolinas pioneering role and help participants turn emerging nanotechnologies into skilled, high-wage jobs.
