Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
* Synthesis methods for the preparation of nanomaterials (including up-scaling)
* Modification of nanomaterials (e.g. surface functionalisation of colloidal nanoparticles)
* Characterisation and exploitation of optical, electrochemical, catalytical and other properties
* Nanomaterial-based devices
* Application of nanomaterials in life-sciences
* Self-assembly
