From June 17–20 in Valencia, Spain, the world of nanoscience came alive at the 4th Edition of NanoSeries, a global gathering that united more than 300 participants from 36 countries.
Over four transformative days, scientists, engineers, and visionaries converged at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Valencia, to share discoveries, forge collaborations, and imagine new futures for nanotechnology.
The conference wasn’t just about research — it was about relationships, ideas, and inspiration.
Ten dynamic tracks spanned everything from synthesis and characterization to nanomedicine, energy materials, soft robotics, and digital intelligence, offering an extraordinary view of the nanoscale world that shapes our macroscale future.
"In a world increasingly shaped by innovation at the nanoscale, the NanoSeries Conference continues to be a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we bring together minds from diverse fields, cultures, and visions."
Pioneering scientists inspired with perspectives that blended theory, experimentation, and imagination:
In Su Lee (POSTECH), Daniel Wolverson (University of Bath), Peter A. Dowben (University of Nebraska), Seonki Hong (DGIST), Tania Patiño Padial (Eindhoven University of Technology), Jacek Ryl (Gdansk University of Technology), Artem Mishchenko (University of Manchester), Francesca Toma (Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon), Hugo Pérez-Garza (DENSsolutions), and Klaus Attenkofer (ALBA Synchrotron).
Their talks illuminated new paths in nanoscale materials, flexible sensors, quantum optics, and autonomous lab technologies — laying the groundwork for the next decade of discovery.
The conference’s thematic depth was guided by an exceptional roster of session and symposium chairs, including:
María Carmen Asensio (ICMM-CSIC, Spain) •Juan P. Martínez Pastor (ICMUV, Spain) • Denys Makarov (HZDR, Germany) • Salvador Pané i Vidal (ETH Zürich, Switzerland) • Carmen Munuera (ICMM-CSIC, Spain) • José Paulo S. Farinha (Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal) • Pablo Ares (Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain) • Jérôme Cornil (Université de Mons, Belgium) • Andres Castellanos-Gómez (ICMM-CSIC, Spain) • Teresa Gatti (Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy) • João Borges (University of Aveiro, Portugal) • Tito Trindade (University of Aveiro, Portugal) • Katarzyna Siuzdak (Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland) • Peter Zijlstra (Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands) • Lior Klein (Bar-Ilan University, Israel) • Tsuyoshi Minami (University of Tokyo, Japan) • Wenbin Lin (University of Chicago, USA) • Bruce Dunn (UCLA, USA) • Ilka Kriegel (Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy) • Serguei Molodtsov (European XFEL, Germany).
All travel grants were awarded through the NanoSeries Innovation Fund, with certificates and partner awards presented by Small Structures (Wiley-VCH), Microchimica Acta (Springer Nature), and the Nanoscale Journal Family (Royal Society of Chemistry).
