IUPAC sponsorship implies that entry visas will be granted to all bona 
fide chemists provided application is made not less than three months 
in advance. If a visa is not granted one month before the meeting, 
the IUPAC Secretariat should be notified without delay by the applicant.



aims and scope

As nanomaterials will play a key role in science and technology in the 
21st century, the objectives of this symposium are in providing 
an interdisciplinary forum for scientists engaged in the full spectrum 
of research, development, application, and to discuss the current 
status and recent developments of these materials with a focus on 
the chemistry and practical approaches. In addition, the meeting will 
provide an opportunity to overview the field by covering a wide range 
of topics. Themes have been selected to accommodate a wide range of 
interests to facilitate interdisciplinary interactions in both academic 
fields and industrial technology.
