NANOCARBONS 2011
Researchers from the Physical and Life Sciences are invited to participate in the **Nanocarbons 2011** Conference.
This conference is organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF).
The conference will take place on **6 - 11 September 2011** at Hotel Villa del Mare, Acquafredda di Maratea, Italy.
Submission Deadline: **29 May 2011**
**Grants for Young and Early Stage Researchers available.**
Further information can be found below and at: www.esf.org/conferences/11363
**Nanocarbons 2011: Carbon Nanotubes and Related Materials: From Physico-Chemical Properties to Biological and Environmental Effects**
6 - 11 September 2011
**Chaired by:**
**Dr. Sophie Lanone**, Inserm U955 - Équipe 04, FR
**Co-Chairs:**
**Dr. Pascale Launois**, CNRS-Université Paris 11, FR
**Professor Philippe Lambin**, University of Namur, BE
**Professor Stephen Klaine**, Clemson University, US
Programme
Nanomaterials have specific properties mainly governed by quantum physics or surface effects, and significantly different from those of macroscopic objects. Emblematic nanomaterials are carbon nanotubes, which have generated a worldwide, and highly competitive, scientific research activity. The general aim of this conference is, thanks to its pluridisciplinary approach, to give the different actors of carbon nanotubes (CNT) research (physicists, chemists, biologists) the proper level of knowledge required to discuss with the other participants and understand each other correctly. The conference will therefore propose courses accessible to scientists of different fields, as well as more specialized courses in each domain of interest, including the most recent advances on the subject. The program will focus on four general topics: synthesis/characterization of CNT, CNT chemistry, health effects of CNT, and environmental effects of CNT. This conference should allow scientists from the different fields to acquire, increase and share their specific knowledge, and to make their own research understandable to scientists from other disciplines.

This conference will be providing the opportunity for leading scientists and young researchers to meet for discussions on the most recent developments in their fields of research. We enable collaboration between international scientists from EU, first world and emerging countries which acts as a catalyst for creating new synergistic global contacts across disciplines.
We invite you to join us in harnessing this great potential, working towards an even more cohesive scientific force in Europe and beyond by contributing to our intense, dynamic and fun events.
