Call for Presentations
International Conference on Industrial Processes for Nanomaterials Cambridge, UK: 1st July 2014 Call for Presentations NanoEx3 is an international conference and exhibition focusing on the opportunities and challenges to the market uptake of nanomaterials. NanoEx3 will provide a platform for you to present to and network with your peers, potential collaborators, industrial users, national government and EU agencies, and prospective investors. s hor a t u A eive rec % 25 ount disc The theme of the event will be transfer of knowledge from the research base to industrial application, so there will be a strong emphasis on how innovation value-chains deliver the benefits of nanomaterials. Scope Deadline for receipt of abstracts: 14th February 2014 For more information or to submit an abstract, please contact: Christina Glenister Conference Organiser BHR Group Email: [email protected] Telephone: +44 (0) 7887 753 192 The conference is looking for presentations that fit into one or more of the following topics: Idea to Innovation Developing novel product formulations, analytical techniques, characterisation methods and predictive models. Engineering and Application Developing and integrating characterisable products, scalable processes and associated measurement and control essential for safe and economically viable manufacture. Market and Societal Drivers The funding landscape for getting to market, the role of the government in developing an agenda for growth and framework for legislation or regulation, the view of the investor especially for SMEs and start-ups. The Innovation Value Chain Developing attractive value propositions, looking for partners and investors, and building business relationships that last. Supported by: Organised by: Presentation content and submission This call is for prospective presenters to submit a short 300 word abstract based on original work describing what they will present and how it fits with the four topics described in the Scope. Presentations are invited from industrial practitioners, researchers, SME and other innovators and entrepreneurs, and from government representatives and investors. Each abstract must state your name, affiliation and contact details and be submitted electronically to: [email protected]. All abstracts will be reviewed by our Technical Committee. Confirmed industrial speakers: The conference will address The European and Global Dimension Horizon 2020, Europe’s largest programme supporting industrial update of emerging technology solutions in nanotechnology states that the: ‘Seamless integration of technologies and processing for using nanomaterials in production; to improve the control and monitoring of the conditions required for the use of nanomaterials in industrial processes; to increase the level of robustness and repeatability of such industrial processes; to optimise and evaluate the increased performance and functionality of the product as well as that of the production line in terms of productivity in actual operational environment…. represent critical steps before committing to pilot production.
