8th NanoBio-Europe International Congress & Exhibition

— filed under: nanotech, nanobiosciences

Medical and biological applications of nanobiotechnology

When	Jun 18, 2012 09:00 AM to Jun 20, 2012 05:30 PM
Where	Varese (Italy)
Contact Name	JRC-IHCP, Nanotechnology
Organizer	JRC & Fondazione Don Gnocchi

Organised by the Joint Research Centre, Institute for Health and Consumer Protection (IHCP), Nanobiosciences Unit and Fondazione Don Gnocchi, the 8th NanoBio-Europe International Congress & Exhibition on Nanobiotechnology will showcase the latest international developments in nanobiotechnology, and provide a platform to facilitate interdisciplinary communications and new collaborations for delegates from academic, industrial and clinical backgrounds.

Following the success of previous NanoBioEurope conferences in Barcelona (2008), Grenoble (2009), Muenster (2010) and Cork (2011), this event is expected to gather more than 200 scientists and researcher specialised in NanoBiotechnology.

The major focus of the NanoBio-Europe Conference is on medical and biological applications of nanobiotechnology, in which nanotechnology-enabled devices and systems could provide the basis for better, more accessible healthcare and testing strategies with improved outcomes for the citizen.

The programme offers 3 days of:

Plenary talks
Keynotes and concurrent sessions on specific issues
Tandem talks (science and industry)
Industrial exhibition
Company presentation
Partnering
Poster sessions

Updated 15.06.2012: For more information, including the Book of Abstracts, see the 8thNanoBioEurope conference web site

As the Commission's in-house science service, the Joint Research Centre's mission is to provide EU policies with independent, evidence-based scientific and technical support throughout the whole policy cycle. Working in close cooperation with policy Directorates-General, the JRC addresses key societal challenges while stimulating innovation through developing new methods, tools and standards, and sharing its know-how with the Member States, the scientific community and international partners. Key policy areas include: environment and climate change; energy and transport; agriculture and food security; health and consumer protection; information society and digital agenda; safety and security, including nuclear; all supported through a cross-cutting and multidisciplinary approach.
