International Conference
Endorsed by: MIUR
Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research
Present situation and Forecasts of Nanotechnology in:
Materials, Health and Medical Systems, Energy
November 4-5, 2004
Rome (Italy)
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The two days International Conference will offer the opportunity to present the first results of the Nanoroadmap (NRM) project.
NRM, co-funded by the European Commission within the VI Framework Programme (FP6), has started in January 2004 with the objective to provide coherent scenarios and technology roadmaps for the application of nanotechnology in the three selected fields up to the year 2014 that will help the European players, both in public institutions and industry, to optimise their efforts in the three selected areas (material, health and medical systems, energy) in the coming years.
The picture given will be far reaching. Nanoroadmap is in fact conducted by an International Consortium formed by eight leading organisations representing eight European countries and Israel.

The Conference, organised by AIRI/Nanotec IT, will cover the following topics:
Nanotechnology in the world today: national activities, policies and initiatives;
Present situation and forecasts of nanotechnology and its applications in: materials, health and medical services, energy;
Discussion on the future roadmapping exercise.
Several well known experts from both the research and industrial community are expected to participate illustrating their activity to enrich the debate. A dedicated poster session will offer a further opportunity to present recent developments and applications of nanotechnology in the three fields.
Who Should Attend
The Conference is an excellent opportunity for representatives of industry (researchers in first place, but not only), public research institutions and University (professors and students), public bodies, planners, associations (industrial and professional), the financial community, to obtain a clear overview of nanotechnology in the above three fields.
The Conference will give not only a review of the present situation in these areas, but also indication on how they are expected to evolve in the short-mid terms to highlight relevant future growth opportunities. The NRM project will provide key input for the definition of the future FP7 in the area of nanotechnology. For this reason, the Conference also offers a great opportunity for those who want to have their voice heard in this process.
Conference venue
The Conference will be held at the CNR, Piazzale Aldo Moro 7, in Rome (pic1 pic2).
Language
English will be the official language of the Conference |
