Following the highly successful Nanofair conferences of the last years which attracted delegates from all over the world Nanofair 2010 again will bring together the international community of science and industry. Already started in 2002 Nanofair is the most established conference on nanotechnology in Europe and among the premier events worldwide. Under the slogan “New Ideas for Industry” Nanofair as an international conference will present a vital platform for the exchange of ideas and the generation of initiatives between science and industry. The focus of the conference will be on nanotechnology in the fields of materials and surfaces, energy, electronics, life sciences as well as optics.

Plenary lectures by internationally renowned speakers and contributed oral presentations will offer delegates excellent opportunities to become acquainted with the latest developments in this diverse field. A comprehensive poster session will complement the technical program. Sufficient time will be available for discussions on challenges and solutions, new materials and processes as well as with cooperation partners. An exhibition running concurrently to the conference offers excellent opportunities to promote technical interchange of information and to present the latest in equipment, services and materials for commercializing R&D results.

Dresden with its unique alliance of large scientific research institutes of Fraunhofer, Max-Planck, Leibniz and Helmholtz Association and the Technical University of Dresden is proud of being the host of the conference.

Nanofair 2010 will take place at the International Congress Center in Dresden, July 6th and 7th, 2010.

Topics

Nanofair 2010 will provide a forum for presenting current research and for the exchange of ideas and information between researchers, scientists and engineers from industry, research laboratories and academia.
