At #NanoSeries2026, we are introducing a refined and thoughtfully structured initiative dedicated to recognizing and elevating outstanding Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) within the heart of our scientific program.
This is not a parallel activity or a side track. It is a deliberate commitment to ensuring that emerging scientific leaders receive the visibility, respect, and engagement they truly deserve.
Our Vision
Scientific breakthroughs are not defined by titles they are driven by curiosity, courage, and conviction. Many of tomorrow’s transformative ideas are being developed today by early-career researchers.
With this in mind, NanoSeries2026 introduces a structured recognition and evaluation framework that identifies exceptional ECR contributions and places them thoughtfully within high-impact technical sessions.
We carefully design each session to:
Our goal is simple yet powerful:
To create a program where innovation and experience share the same stage.
ECR Presentation Opportunities
Selected early-career researchers will be featured through:
Each ECR presentation will receive:
Strategic placement within core technical sessions Dedicated evaluation by an expert review panel Consideration for ECR Awards Targeted visibility through NanoSeries communications
Every presentation will be treated with the seriousness, respect, and attention it deserves.
Since 2022, the NanoSeries Innovation Foundry has championed young innovators by offering travel grants, global visibility, and prestigious recognitions.
For NanoSeries2026, our ECR Panel will honor four exceptional early-career researchers with premium awards designed to boost their scientific journey.
This is your moment to shine on one of the world’s most influential nanotechnology platforms.
NanoSeries2026 goes far beyond presentations. We bring world-renowned scientists to personally mentor young researchers through transformative programs designed to accelerate careers.

Young Researchers Innovation Forum (NanoSeries2026 ECR Symposium)
At #NanoSeries2026, we believe that today’s young researchers are tomorrow’s trailblazers. The NanoSeries Early-Career Researchers (ECR) Symposium is our flagship initiative dedicated to nurturing emerging talent, empowering bold ideas, and shaping the next generation of scientific leaders.
This exclusive program is open to PhD scholars, Postdoctoral researchers, and Research Associates under 35, who do not hold senior designations as of March 31, 2026. Selected applicants will showcase their work to an elite global audience through ECR Invited Talks and ECR Oral Presentations, carefully chosen by the Scientific Committee.
Since 2022, the NanoSeries Innovation Foundry has championed young innovators by offering travel grants, global visibility, and prestigious recognitions.
