The 9th International Nanotechnology Conference on Communication and Cooperation (INC9) will bring together renowned and technologically advanced thinkers to exchange information and ideas with regards to nanotechnology. Specific topics that will be emphasized in INC9 are as follows:
1) Bridge to Medical Engineering: Bio-transistors, personal health and environmental monitoring 2) Flagship projects in Europe: Brain research, Graphene Center, Large multidisciplinary centers 3) Bridge to photonics: high density optical interconnects and integrated silicon photonics 4) Bridge to Energy Efficiency: low energy electronics and lightning in Japan, Europe and US 5) Panel on innovation in nanotechnology
The meeting will provide a unique opportunity for academics and industry leaders to interact on issues in nanotechnology. In order to further strengthen the dialogue, leaders and policy makers from a number of continents will join researchers from industry and academia to hold discussions on a variety of efforts in nanosciences, along with opportunities for collaboration. Young scientists will also be invited to present posters highlighting their work.
The INC9 conference attracted some of the world’s most reknowned and technologically advanced thinkers who presented the latest concepts in beyond-CMOS nanoelectronics, nanoenergy, nanophotonics and issues related to nanosocietal implications. Within four days, 150 participants from 15 different countries had lively discussions about the opportunities and challenges of Nanotechnology with a special focus on Nanoelectronics and its applications. Topics like the expected applications areas of the upcoming material Graphene, the vlaue of nano applications in biology and medicine to further improve our personal health, and the perspectives on nano photonics integration as well as on Nanoelectroncis for energy efficiency represent only some of the issues addressed. In addition, this arena provided a unique opportunity where academics and industry leaders could interact on issues in nanotechnology. At a high level, the spirits of the meeting targeted regional groups co-operation to implement strategic and beneficial cooperative programs to progress mandkinds’ development through nanotechnology and its associated intellectual merits.
