Nanotechnology is frequently judged to be a key technology of the 21st century. Although not all research areas that were awarded this honorary title in the past have so far fulfilled all the expectations, thinking of nanotechnology as a highly important research area surely is justified. Especially in the field of medicine nanotechnology may help to develop new and effective applications. However, as with many modern technologies, there are considerable moral concerns about the consequences nanotechnology may have for humans and their environment.
At the conference there will be sessions on scientific and technical aspects of nanomedicine, on risk and other ethical issues as well as on the social impact of nanomedicine in the context of science, industry and the public.
Information on participating / attending:
The conference will include a Poster Session with contributions from scientists from all involved fields. Especially young scientists researching on technical, ethical, social or legal aspects of nanotechnology related to medicine are called to take part with their “Visions on nanomedicine” illustrated on a standard poster (DIN A0 format). Evaluated by a jury (with the conference’s speakers as its members), the best poster will be awarded a book voucher (150,- Euros). Applicants may send an abstract containing contact data (name, institution/company, address, email) and a short description of the project together with their conference registration (deadline poster submission: 29 March 2012).

Spring Conference on nanomedicine, 19/20 April 2012, Berlin You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
