The Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) and Nano Today, a nanoscience and nanotechnology journal published by Elsevier, are organising the First Nano Today Conference at the Biopolis in Singapore from August 3 - 5. Current developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology and their extensive impact will take centre stage at the three day conference which will be addressed by 33 nanotechnology experts. More than 450 international delegates are expected to attend the conference.
This inaugural conference features plenary lectures by three pioneers of the field, 30 invited talks by leading scientists from 26 global institutions, 75 contributed oral and 205 poster presentations by researchers from 33 countries. The contributed presentations were selected from over 600 abstract submissions from countries including Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, the UK and the US.
Chaired by Nano Today Editor-in-Chief and IBN Executive Director, Professor Jackie Y. Ying, the conference will focus on the latest advances in nanostructured materials and systems for wide-ranging applications in various fields. These include electric, optical, magnetic and biomedical devices, chemical and biologics synthesis, energy generation and storage, as well as biomaterials and biomimetic systems.
To inspire and engage young researchers, 28 students from 18 countries have been granted the Nano Today 2009 Student Travel Awards to present their research results at the conference. The award recipients were selected from over 170 applications, and they received travel funding along with a waiver of the conference registration fee. The international exposure and opportunity to confer with leading nanoscience researchers is expected to be an invaluable experience for these budding scientists.
