Nanoscience Days 2025

The scientific programme consists of plenary lectures given by prominent scientists around the world on topics of common interest to physicists, chemists, and biologists that concern the nanoscale phenomena. In addition, the programme includes a wide poster session for student presentations as well as a conference dinner for networking.

The distinct feature of NSD is the exceptionally interdisciplinary audience and we encourage the speakers to put their research in a wider context and aim to make the talk approachable for the interdisciplinary audience while still aiming to present their newest advances. Nanoscience Days has existed already for twenty years, and our community has found the event very fruitful for spreading and breeding ideas from different fields which would not otherwise meet. Topics present a balanced overview of emerging trends and perspectives in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
