The first day of the conference was devoted to the 1st Symposium on Polydopamine, which was the first international forum gathering leading scientists and experts within the field, i.a. Prof. Haeshin Lee (KAIST, South Korea), Prof. Prof. Vincent Ball (University of Strasbourg, France), Prof. Juergen Liebscher (Humboldt-University Berlin, Germany) or Prof. Daniel Ruiz-Molina (Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Spain). The NanoBioMedical Centre was represented by Dr. Radosław Mrówczyński.
On the following conference days, lectures were focused on the nanomaterials and nanotechnology, and were included in two parallel thematic sections: section A – Advanced nanomaterials and section B - Nanobiomedicine.
Plenary lectures of the conference:
Prof. Andrea C. Ferrari, Cambridge Graphene Centre, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, UK
