Researchers from VSB-TUO had a strong presence at the 16th annual Nanocon conference, held in Brno from October 15 to 17, 2024. Among the invited speakers was Mark Rümmeli, the holder of the prestigious ERA Chairs EBEAM grant.
“It was an excellent opportunity to share insights and engage with a vibrant community of researchers dedicated to advancing nanotechnology,” commented Professor Rümmeli on the conference participation.
This year, the conference attracted over 200 participants, featuring 81 lectures and 108 posters during the poster session. Professor Rümmeli delivered a talk titled “Towards Atom Precise Synthesis and Engineering with Electron Microscopes” during the session on Advanced Methods for Preparation and Characterisation of Nanosystems.
The International Nanocon Conference is organized by TANGER and the Czech Society for New Materials and Technologies. It is the first conference in the Czech Republic dedicated to nanomaterials, highlighting research, applications, and their potential environmental impact. Since its inception in 2009, the conference has hosted esteemed speakers, including Nobel Prize-winning chemist Louis E. Brus from Columbia University and Michael Grätzel from EPFL in Lausanne.
