Previous meetings

The Previous two Nanotech Insight meetings (2007, 2005) were successfully held in Luxor, Egypt. Hosting the conference in Egypt provided the opportunity for young interested scholars in the developing world to take part and be inspired by the latest developments and innovative research in nanoscience and technology. Nanotech has the potential to provide cost-effective solutions to help the world reach the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. By providing strategic support and guidance, developed countries can greatly increase the chances for the success of such initiatives in the developing world. The conference emphasized responsible Nanotech, with sessions on the ethics of nanoresearch and also environmental and health benefits of Nanotechnology.

Nanotech Insight 2009 travels across the Mediterranean to the shores of Europe in Barcelona, where further coordinated and multidisciplinary collaborations will be promoted between international scholars and industry.
