On behalf of the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology,  we would like to warmly invite you to participate in at the 9th International Conference on Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology (AMN9), which will  be held at the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa,  in Wellington from the 10th to the 14th of February 2019.

AMN9 is the ninth event in a biennial conference series  which focuses on cutting-edge research in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The topics covered reflect the broad scientific interests of the MacDiarmid Institute and range from nano-bio interfaces, nanomedicine, materials for photovoltaics, to novel electronic devices (including spintronics and valleytronics). The programme will include a line-up of world-leading  plenary speakers, cutting edge keynote talks, as well as contributed oral and poster presentations. The goals is to create a stimulating environment to present new results and exchange scientific ideas.

Over the past decade, there has been a growing research activity on light-matter interactions in atomically thin materials, such as graphene, topological insulators, thin polar and semiconducting layers and other van der Waals materials, including their heterostructures. Nanophotonics of 2D materials (N2D) aims to explore their optical phenomena by providing a setting where researchers from diverse fields can convene; classical and quantum optics; excitons, phonons and plasmons; far-field and near field spectroscopies; many body optical physics; topological photonics; among many others. Through these interactions, N2D seeks to provide a setting where unifying concepts can form, new ideas are inspired, and new frontiers in theoretical and experimental research on 2D materials nanophotonics can emerge. 

Meet the editor and discuss high impact publishing

As part of N2D, there will be a conference panel to discuss High Impact Publishing in 2D featuring editors from the American Chemical Society, Nature Publishing, and the Royal Society of Chemistry. Professor Qing Dai, NCNST China, will take part in the panel discussion to share his recent experiences and top tips for authors as an Associate Editor for Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances.

The 2018 Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Symposium will be hosted in Portland, Oregon. The objectives of this symposium are to highlight new groundbreaking discoveries and developments in nanomedicine and drug delivery.  Revolutionary advances in this area require collaboration amongst researchers working in a diverse array of fields including nanotechnology, materials science, imaging, cell biology, tissue engineering, gene editing, drug and gene delivery as well as clinical research.

The symposium will take place at the Collaborative Life Science Building (CLSB), a next-generation health and science education and research facility that combines the resources and brainpower of three Oregon universities under one roof – Oregon State University (OSU), Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and Portland State University (PSU).

The full list of speakers is available on the conference website – https://www.nanodds2018.org/speakers/ 

NanoTox 2018 – 9th International Conference on Nanotoxicology will take place this year between 18th-21st September 2018 at Dorint-Hotel Neuss, Germany. 

The special focus of NanoTox 2018 will be “New tools in risk assessment of nanomaterials” such as read-across, grouping and categorization. This event will offer a platform for all interested scientists, industry partners and regulatory bodies to discuss the latest results and developments in nanosafety research.

The full list of plenary speakers is available on the conference website including the portal to submit posters and register before the deadline below.
