Dear colleagues and friends,

It is with great pleasure to invite you to attend the fourth international nanotechnology conference EuroNanoForum 2009. The conference will be held in Prague, June 2-5, 2009, during the Czech presidency of the European Union. It is an official event of the EU supported by the European Commission.

The topic of the EuroNanoForum 2009 is “Nanotechnology for a Sustainable Economy”. The individual sessions will be devoted to:

• Nanotechnology in eco- and energy-efficient industrial production
• Nanotechnology for energy production and management
• Environmental applications and implications of nanotechnology
• Future applications and new ideas
• Nanotechnology: education, standardization and social perception of benefits and risks.

Nanotechnologies open opportunities and challenges that have to be analyzed at the international level by an integrated approach. The Forum will create a unique opportunity for researchers and industrial experts working in diverse fields of science and technology to meet, discuss, co-operate, and to contribute to the definition of a European nanotechnology strategy after 2009.

On behalf of the organizers, I am inviting you to take part in the EuroNanoForum 2009 in Prague. We hope that you will not miss this unique opportunity to meet world leaders in the nanotechnology field and to exhibit your products and technologies to delegates.
