EuroBio2008

07-Oct-2008 to 09-Oct-2008, Paris, France

At the request of its prestigious International Steering Committee, and in view of EuroBiO's nomination as the leading life sciences event of the rotating EU Presidency, the Organizing Committee was set two goals: • to send the attendees home charged with ideas and opportunities • to generate a snapshot of the collective mind of all those present at EuroBiO regarding burning issues that will be of use to policy makers at national and European levels. To achieve this, EuroBiO 2008 is based on two highly innovative and interactive formats: the “House of Commons” Debates and the BioDialogues, which will take place respectively on Tuesday 7th October and on Wednesday 8th. During the Grand Reporting Plenary on Thursday 9th, Europe's decision makers will officially ask Conference what needs to change, for change to take place.

NanoBioEurope 2008

09-Jun-2008 to 13-Jun-2008, Barcelona, Spain

As a merger of the NanoBioTec - Congress and Exhibition (Münster since 2001) - and the NanoBiotechnologies X-France (Paris2001, Grenoble2003 and Nice2005), NanoBioEurope is proud to present the fourth annual international conference on nanobiotechnology - NanoBio-Europe2008. The first conference of this recent series has been launched on September 22-24, 2005 in Münster (Germany). The scientific program addresses nanotechnological results, developments and applications in the field of increasingly efficient, more targeted and less invasive analaysis and therapeutic systems for health care. NanoBioEurope conference series include joint plenary sessions with Invited, Keynote and oral contributions, poster sessions, industrial exhibition, technical visits, mini-workshops (parallel sessions) and many other attractive items as well as social events to enhance discussions between participants.

Which? Nanotechnologies Summit

28-Feb-2008 to 28-Feb-2008, Lewis Media Centre, Millbank tower, Central London

Nano Bio Clean Tech 2007 "Forging the New Scientific Frontier in the Global Economy"

05-Nov-2007 to 08-Nov-2007, Hyatt Regency Hotel, San Francisco Airport, USA

The International Association of Nanotechnology (IANT), is a non-profit organization with the goals to foster scientific research and business development in the areas of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology for the benefit of society. The Association fosters friendship, equality and cooperation amongst its members around the world. IANT does not endorse nor support any applications which uses and misuses the advanced technology for destructive purposes. As the leading organization, IAnano is working on the roadmap and the framework of the emerging technology worldwide.

'Nanoparticles for European Industry II'

24-Oct-2007 to 25-Oct-2007, The Olympia Conference Centre, London

Materials in the form of nanoparticles are already in use in a number of different industrial sectors. It is easy to see why. They can endow inexpensive support materials with advanced properties at a fraction of the price, or be used where existing technologies cannot provide a solution. The potential benefits and markets are huge, predicted to account for 31% of the global nanotechnology market in 2015 (approximately 340 billion USD p.a.). It impacts everything from pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, to electronics, energy, transport, textiles, and the construction industry. However, there are still obstacles to overcome. Scaling up a laboratory process to that required by industry must take account of technical issues such as particle size ranges, agglomeration, reactivity, and dispersion into matrices. In addition, there are concerns regarding the potential effects of engineered free nanoparticles on human health and the environment. Whether you are a manufacturer or developer of nanoparticles or simply want to know how such new materials will impact your business, this conference will provide you with answers and contact to leading R&D organizations. The conference includes a poster session with contributions from industry and academia, an exhibition area, and discussion session where delegates will be able to put their questions to a panel of experts from government, regulatory agencies and industry on the issues impacting their businesses.

Nano Toxicity Converance 2007 Managing the Risk Governance

27-Jun-2007 to 28-Jun-2007, Sofitel Bercy, Paris France

During the NanoToxicity conference, to be held in Paris Sofitel on 27 & 28 June, 2007, researchers, industrials and government representants will address these questions in detail. The conference will stand in parallel with the second edition of Cancer Nanotech. A call for papers has been launched on-line, effective until November 30, 2006. The proposals submitted will be examined by a scientific committee.

“Building bridges: issues for future risk research” 16 th SRA-Europe Conference

17-Jun-2007 to 19-Jun-2007, The Hague, NL

The Society for Risk Analysis is a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, scholarly, international society that provides an open forum for all those who are interested in risk analysis. Risk analysis is broadly defined to include risk assessment, risk characterization, risk communication and perception, risk management, and risk policy. It may concern individuals, public and private organizations, and society at a local, regional, national or global level. SRA-Europe is a section of the Society for Risk Analysis.

1st Advanced Course on Strategic Communication and Applied Ethics in Nanobiotechnology

11-Mar-2007 to 16-Mar-2007, St Edmund Hall, Oxford

This five-day Advanced Course for nanobiotechnologists will enable the participants to carry out a wide variety of public communication activities discussing the social and ethical implications of their work with confidence. The programme provides leading experts in public affairs and communication, bioethics, risk assessment and regulatory affairs in the field of nanobiotechnology. Participants will be trained in writing, speaking, debating, preparing communication plans and ethical case studies applied to the various fields of nanobiotechnology. The participants of the courses will acquire: - knowledge of the relevant ethical, legal and social aspects of nanobiotechnology - skills to communicate effectively with the media and the public - understanding of issues involved in the public acceptance of nanobiotechnology
