Chemical Nanotechnology Talks X - Green nano: Challenges of sustainability |
|
(Nanowerk News) Chemical Nanotechnology Talks (CNT) is an event for international
participants, stressing chemical nanotechnology. Every year there is a
focus on a particular theme. This year's focus, on January 26-27 in Frankfurt/Germany lies on "Green Nano:
Challenges of Sustainability" including themes like resources, energy
and environment.

To keep our carbon footprint on our planet as lean as possible is the
top challenge to mankind and industry as well. On the one hand still
every production and use of material is not as efficient as it should or
could uselessly destroy resources, e.g. degrading and corroding
construction materials.

|
On the other hand, conversion and storage of
alternative energy sources for everyday use are central aspects of
responsible care, too. Finally reducing the effects of modern society on
the environment stays as an important task. Nanotechnology can provide
answers for many questions concerning these challenges and has already
done so in a plenty of cases. This shall be demonstrated in this years
CNT in it's 10th anniversary.

Lectures, held by national and international experts
and the opportunity for especially young scientists to present their
work and research on posters form a well-balanced conference programme.
Recent years experiences show that decision makers from industry and
academic institutions like to visit CNT - also because of ample time
scheduled for discussion with other participants during coffee breaks
and the poster party.
