The conference addresses experts and users of nanotechnology. The organizers are expecting more than 500 visitors from all over the world. This year, the conference focuses on four topics: "graphene", "nanotechnology for the environment", "nanophotonics," and "safety". On the first day, plenary sessions will give a general overview over these four areas. On the second day, four workshop sessions will deal with all four subjects in detail.

The panel and workshop session dealing with "nanotechnology for the environment" are organized by IVAM. They will demonstrate how nanotechnology helps to reduce environmental pollution and protect water and air. Efficient resources management, waste reduction and decreasing the use of chemicals are achievements where nanotechnology excels in comparison to conventional environmental technologies. Experts from science and industry will present trends in research and development and provide an insight into current and future applications.
