Smart Nanomaterials, 10-13 December 2018, France

The following international conference on Smart Nanomaterials will take place in Ecole Nationale Chimie Paris Tech from 10th to 13th of December 2018: Smart Nanomaterials: Advances, Innovation and Application Conference with more information to be found at www.snaia2018.com.

The conference focus is to discuss the most critical technological advances, innovations and new practical applications in Smart Technologies.
Smart NanoMaterials 2018 (SNAIA2018) will provide a unique platform to meet, share knowledge and establish links between experts from academia and industry in the emerging fields of Wearable (Opto)Electronics, CMOS Photonics, Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, OptoGenetics, Smart Coatings and Thin Films.
The conference programme will also include the Microscopy and Microspectroscopy of Nanomaterials Symposium in partnership with the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS), UK, and the European Microscopy Society (EMS). The symposium will cover fundamental techniques such as optical microscopy, TEM, STEM, EELS, EDX, SEM, AFM, Raman, and FTIR for a wide range of possible applications, from chemistry and material fabrication of nanomaterials to nanophotonic and (opto)-electronic systems and thin-film coating engineering. The symposium will further include a workshop with hands-on demonstrations and the possibility to test participants' samples on-site.

We have an exciting list of Keynote and Invited Speakers lined up for this event:
Prof. Andrea C. Ferrari - Cambridge Graphene Centre
Prof. Pavlos Lagoudakis - University of Southampton & Skoltech University Prof. David Andrews - University of East Anglia
Prof. Coskun Kocabas - University of Manchester
Prof. Frank A. Nüesch - École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
