NanoteC is designed to introduce those with an interest in materials to current research in nanotechnology and to bring together research scientists working in various disciplines in the broad area of nanotubes, graphene, diamond- and fullerene-related nanostructures. Elemental carbon is the simplest exemplar of this nanotechnology based on covalent bonding, however other systems (for example containing boron and nitrogen) are becoming important from a research point of view, and provide alternative components with unique mechanical and electronic properties. Nanotechnology requires an understanding of these materials on an atomic level and this will be the central theme.

The NanoteC conferences are renowned for their relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with emphasis on discussion and participation. We endeavour to achieve as much student participation as possible, and we anticipate that the keynote talks will be strongly influential on the next generation of nanotechnology scientists.
