Keynotes were delivered by Professors Stan Veprek ("Limits to the Preparation of Superhard Nanocomposites"); Valentine Vullev ("Biological Inspiration in the Development of Molecular Electrets for Energy Applications"); and Radek Zboril ("Iron-bearing materials in advanced environmental and biomedical nanotechnologies"). The conference involved more than 100 invited lectures by renowned researchers around the globe making IC4N a Nano forum of the highest quality. The poster sessions contributed to a vigorous and informal scientific and technical exchange.
The conference involved 11 special symposia that were planned to address the current state-of-the-art in nanoscience and nanotechnology as applied to energy conversion, human health, and environment. Challenging and rewarding research directions were identified by world experts in the field. The symposia provided a unique opportunity for networking with some of the top scientists in the world. A nanotechnology transfer workshop, From the Lab to the Marketplace, also took place to address issues relating to facilitation of recent nanomaterials and nanotechnology advancements to the marketplace.
