COMS brings together leaders from all over the world and every sector of industry - from high tech companies, national labs, regional development and government agencies, investment and consulting groups, market researchers, educators and students - all sharing, learning and creating partnerships in an open interactive setting. This is a powerful environment focused on accelerating commercialization activity among established and emerging micro and nano businesses.

COMS focuses primarily on solutions, not just science and technology. It is a hand’s on, practical meeting to assist you in bringing your products to market, find new customers, or the perfect development partner. Meet with decision makers & qualified buyers from every sector in an atmosphere designed for business development.

COMS addresses the commercialization obstacles encountered in research, technology transfer, manufacturing processes, facilities, infrastructure, investment, applications and markets, as well as covering regulatory issues, social implications, education and workforce development. COMS is a networking showcase of insight, knowledge, experience and inspiration!

The Institute of Nanotechnology and Cranfield University presents a one-day short course "Nanotechnology for drug delivery" in association with Pharmidex. The course will provide an insight into how knowledge at the nanoscale and the application of nanotechnology is revolutionising the effective targeting of precise levels of drugs to treat a wide variety of diseases. The course will be invaluable to medical professionals, industry researchers, regulators and others interested in gaining knowledge of this rapidly developing area of nanomedicine. The course will cover, amongst other topics:

• drug delivery routes – challenges and possible solutions
• a review of the different types of novel nanoparticles and targeting systems being developed for the delivery of drugs
• novel multifunctional particles and systems
• theranostic approaches
• toxicology, risks and benefits
• regulatory aspects

Nanotechnology is currently one of the most funded research areas in developed countries. It will have significant impact on the medical and biotechnology industries and healthcare technologies in the 21st century. Nanotechnology has wide-ranging applications, such as drug synthesis and delivery, cell surgery and therapy, early disease diagnosis and prevention, biosensors and medical implants. The organising of this event will help to promote IMechE as a leading organisation in the area of emerging technologies.

As with all NANOSMAT conferences (in 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009), NANOSMAT-5 will continue to foster the gathering of talented people from around the world to exchange ideas and information. The conference will thereby provide a platform for interactions between researchers; scientists and engineers from industry, research laboratories and academia, and it will feature state-of-the-art developments in all aspects of processing, characterisation and applications of nanostructured materials.

ESF-UB Conference in Biomedicine

The application of nanotechnology will have a major influence in many fields of medicine. Novel nano-based materials appear in drug delivery systems, diagnostics, imaging, biosensing, and medical materials and devices. This conference aims to provide detailed understanding and discuss the clinical utility of those areas of nanomedicine which are close to application or already clinically applied/on the market.

Nanosafe 2010: In order to promote international cooperation and scientific discussions in the field of safe production and use of nanomaterials, a first Nanosafe Conference and Exhibition was held in 2008. Following the success of this conference the second edition will be held in Grenoble (France) November 16th-18th 2010: (http://www.nanosafe.org).

Many parts of Europe belong to the group of countries with the highest levels of life expectancy worldwide. At the same time lower birth rates and declining mortality at higher ages both reverse the age pyramid, leading to a shrinking number of younger people, an ageing work force, and an increasing number and share of older people in the population. These demographic changes place an ever-increasing pressure on healthcare systems that are already under severe financial pressure and an increased incidence of diseases and conditions associated with old age.
