Special Symposium
Advancements in nanomaterials are delivering rapid advancements and revolutionary technology opportunities for most every “Cleantechnology” topic and industry. This special symposia is cross-listed with a larger number of Cleantech and Nanotech Technical Symposia. However, due to the importance of the impact of nanoscale materials, the organizers feel that a stand alone symposia focused on these potential successes is warranted at the joint TechConnect World events.
Submissions into this Special Symposia will be reviewed by co-chairs from the appropriate application area and a multi-day program will be organized. You may submit through this symposia or through one of the cross listed Symposia listed below:This symposium is a jointly hosted by the Cleantech2011 and Nanotech2011 conferences.
