We are currently organising a conference – Smart Nanomaterials: Advances, Innovation and Applications (SNAIA) 2018 Conference .

The programme committee are now accepting abstracts for both oral and poster presentations. The abstract submission deadline is 15 September 2018.

The conference’s focus is to discuss the most critical technological advances, innovations and new practical applications in Smart Technologies. The conference will take place in the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris, Paris Tech from 10th to 13th of December 2018. More information on SNAIA 2018 can be found at www.snaia2018.com

More than 200 attendees will meet at this Conference and exhibition. The SNAIA 2018 will provide a unique platform to meet, share knowledge and establish links between experts from academia and industry in the emerging fields of Wearable and Printed (Opto)Electronics, CMOS Photonics, Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, OptoGenetics, Smart Coatings and Thin Films.
