EuroNanoForum 2009

EuroNanoForum 2009 was the 4th conference of a set of international nanotechnology conferences organized within the framework of national Presidencies of the European Union.

The 4-day conference with almost 800 participants from 36 countries took place from 2nd to 5th of June 2009, at the Prague Congress Centre, as an official event of the Czech Presidency.

Focusing on “Nanotechnology for sustainable economy”, EuroNanoForum 2009 addressed the contribution and challenges of nanotechnology research for a sustainable development of European industry and society, such as the need for reduction in carbon emissions and fossil fuels dependence, the substantial increase in energy demand, pollution control, clean water management and sustainable quality of life of the European citizen, as well as material production sustainability and efficiency.

Various technical details e.g. technology readiness, end-user needs, benefits and risks, have been assessed at each of 33 conference sessions. The detailed summary of each session will be used to guide future political actions in research on nanosciences, nanotechnologies and converging sciences.
