ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Khalifa University of Science and Technology on Thursday announced it will be hosting “NANO 2024 - the 17th International Conference on Nanostructured Materials” for the first time in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, from November 3-8, 2024, in Abu Dhabi.
The “NANO 2024” will come in collaboration between Khalifa University of Science and Technology and the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi (DCT), to highlight advancements in nanostructured materials and facilitate networking among leading global researchers.
The conference is a premier biennial international event for leading researchers from academia, industry, and government to discuss and present cutting-edge developments in nanostructured materials, nano mechanics, AI in nanotechnology, as well as nanofluids.
The NANO 2024 conference in Abu Dhabi will feature plenary talks from world renowned experts including a Nobel Physics committee member, keynote and invited speakers, as well as 16 technical themes.
The six-day conference has received over 500 papers which were accepted by the selection committee with nearly 59% from the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region. These papers have over 1,200 authors, out of which 533 are from the UAE, 222 from India, 74 from Saudi Arabia, 59 from Italy, 39 from Qatar and 30 from Japan.
Dr. Daniel Choi, Local Chair, NANO 2024, said: “Khalifa University is delighted to partner with various stakeholders to bring the NANO 2024 conference to the UAE and the MENA region for the first time.”
He added, “The conference will serve as a perfect platform to build new connections and presents a valuable opportunity to learn about new trends in nanostructured materials and applications. With live demonstration and hands-on workshops led by world-class international researchers, NANO 2024 will cover a broad spectrum of topics and specialties.”
Areas of Discussions
Some of the focus areas of the conference will include Additively Manufactured Nanomaterials, Nanocomposites and Nano-mechanics, Nanomaterials for Electronics, Sensors and Flexible Electronics, Nanomaterials for Water and Energy, Catalysis, and Environmental Applications, Nano-biomaterials and Nano-bionic & Biomedical Applications, Advanced Nano characterisation, Magnetic Nanomaterials, Nanomaterials for Photonics and Optoelectronics, Carbon Nanomaterials, and 2D Materials.
Notably, the research papers presented at the 17th ICNM-NANO2024 will be selected to be published by the Royal Society of Chemistry under the theme ‘NANO 2024 – Nanostructured Materials for Energy, Bio, Photonics, and Electronics Applications’, which will include those published on both nanoscale and nanoscale advances.
