The objective of this conference is to bring together scientific experts from academia, industries, and government agencies from around the world to present and discuss current research findings on the subject of nanotechnology and sustainability.
The conference program will address the critical aspects of sustainable nanotechnology such as life cycle assessment, green synthesis, green energy, industrial partnership, environmental and biological fate, and the overall sustainability of engineered nanomaterials. In principle, this involves the fundamental/applied research on the chemistry of producing new green nanomaterials; eco-manufacturing processing of nanomaterials and products.
The conference will also foster new collaboration between academic and industrial participants. This community of users, researchers and developers of engineered nanomaterials will provide a long-term, scientific assessment of where the science is for sustainable nano, where it should be heading and what steps academics, government agencies and others can take now to reach targeted goals. In addition, it will serve as the platform to initiate the formation of Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization (SNO), a non-profit, international professional society dedicated to advancing sustainable nanotechnology around the world through education, research, and promotion of responsible growth of nanotechnology.
