IEEE NAP'24 Conference
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to present your most exciting nanomaterials-related research at the #IEEENAP Conference!
The 2024 IEEE 14th International Conference “Nanomaterials: Applications & Properties” will be held at the Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel on Sept. 8-13, 2024, in Riga, Latvia.
The Conference is organized through a partnership between the IEEE Nanotechnology Council and the University of Latvia, and technical support from the Latvian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Electronics and Computer Sciences and Sumy State University, with endorsements and support from the IEEE Magnetics Society.
The prime focus of the IEEE NAP-2024 is on nanoscale materials with emphasis on interdisciplinary research exploring and exploiting their unique physical and chemical proprieties for practical applications. Although nanoscience and nanotechnology are still in their infancy, this rapidly evolving field of research is quickly transforming almost all aspects of our everyday life. From the low power electronics and supercomputers to advanced drugs and personalized medicine, from new industrial applications and renewable energy to advanced transportation and clean air technologies, nanoscience is the foundation of many transformational discoveries in the decades to come.
Our goal is to bring together a broad international community of scientists, engineers, and educators who are already involved in defining a future where the understanding and controlling matter at the nanoscale will ultimately lead to revolutionary technological and industrial advances. Our attendees are leading international experts from industry and academia – chemists, physicists, materials scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Thus, it is not surprising that the NAP conferences traditionally attract many local and international Ph.D. students and early career professionals. Similar to the past NAP Conferences, the conference proceeding manuscripts (4+ printed pages) will be peer-reviewed by independent reviewers and evaluated by the Organizing Committee. The papers of good technical quality containing exciting and novel (unpublished) results on one or more topics of the Conference will be recommended for publication in the IEEE Digital Xplorer Library, indexed by the Scopus (IEEE will make the final decision).
The #IEEENAP Organizing Committee is looking forward to meeting you in Riga!
