E-MRS Fall Meeting 2009

The E-MRS Fall Meeting has been organised since 2002 as a twin conference to the Spring Meeting held every year in Strasbourg. During that time the Fall Meeting has grew from 3 symposia and about 200 participants in 2002 to 12 symposia and around 750 participants in 2008. What is also important the conference became multi-national and has representatives from all over the world.

The Fall Meeting organizers follow the procedures developed over the years by the Society to host wide ranging multi-disciplinary conference to bring established scientists with a world reputation together to share their state-of-the-art knowledge and experience. The most important philosophy of E-MRS is to facilitate scientific and social contacts between established researchers, young scientists and Ph.D. students and promote technology transfer from public institutions to industry.

We would like to remind you kindly that E-MRS 2009 Fall Meeting abstract submission deadline is 11th May 2009.

All specialists wishing to attend the E-MRS 2009 Fall Meeting and present a paper are kindly asked to register and submit an abstract online as soon as possible.

Registration and abstract submission via the Conference web site:

Converging Technologies for 21st Century Security

Organised crime, terrorism, civil conflict, and natural disasters are sadly commonplace in global society and have developed increasingly complex dimensions. To counter such threats, civil security and emergency response teams are looking towards new technologies that offer more sensitive, rapid, and accurate detection methods; that provide the means to neutralise or effectively deal with the outcomes of such incidents; and that provide greater protection to personnel.

The Institute of Nanotechnology (IoN), through its role in the EU-funded observatoryNANO project, is investigating the role that nanotechnology and other technologies can play in addressing such complex security issues. The conference on 'Converging Technologies for 21st Century Security' brings experts from across the world to present their latest R&D in:

• detection of hazardous materials,
• responding to crisis events,
• protection measures for personnel and infrastructure,
• identification of personnel and goods.

This IoN conference is targeted towards governmental agencies, industrial groups, and technology start-ups with a keen interest in addressing security challenges.
