Nanomaterials for Sustainable Energy / Health

This year’s edition starts with a plenary lecture on the synthesis and application of nanoparticles by dr. Karl Mandel from Fraunhofer ISC/Würzburg University, followed by two parallel sessions: one on nanomaterials for health focusing on biohybrids, nanomedicine and medical sensors, and one on nanomaterials for sustainable energy focusing on light management in photovoltaics, electrochemical energy storage (batteries) and chemical energy storage (solar fuels). At the end of the symposium, prof. dr. Albert Schenning from Eindhoven University of Technology will provide a plenary lecture on stimuli responsive functional nanomaterials.

Cancellation Nanotechnology Crossing Borders 2020

Unfortunately, we have to inform you that we have decided to cancel Nanotechnology Crossing Borders 2020. Due to a general concern about the Corona virus and government policies we have to cancel the event. We hope for your understanding. We are fully committed to organising the next edition of the symposium in 2021. If you have any questions please let us know by sending an email to Marliene Bos, member of the organising committee: marliene.bos@zuyd.nl.

Yours sincerely,

Organising Committee Nanotechnology Crossing Borders
