The conference will take place at the new building of IMDEA Nanociencia in Madrid, Spain. Two and half days will be reserved for invited and contributed talks and for the poster session.
The conference will include a special dissemination session dedicated to the now completed ESF EUROCORES programme FANAS, which will discuss scientific advances achieved by this programme and potential formation of future research collaborations and networks.
Last but not least, we are planning an excursion in the beautiful natural park of Sierra de Guadarrama and a dinner in a typical restaurant in the North of Madrid.
