CyI International Conference: 2010 Villa Conference on Interaction Among Nanostructures - Open call for papers
Chairs: Emmanouil E. Lioudakis (The Cyprus Institute -EEWRC) and Zhiming M. Wang (Univ. of Arkansas)
The Cyprus Institute in collaboration with the University of Arkansas is pleased to announce an open call for papers for the 2010 Villa Conference on Interaction Among Nanostructures (VCIAN-2010). The VCIAN-2010 will continue the success of the 2008 and 2009 conferences, which were held in Orlando Florida and St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Island, respectively, by providing an interdisciplinary forum for the open communication in understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological interactions among nanoscale components of any compositions and morphologies, including carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanoparticles, nanowires, and quantum dots.
VCIAN 2010 will take place from June 21st to June 25th, 2010 in Rocabella Resorts & Spa Hotel, at the island of Santorini, Greece. The price for a single or double bedroom accommodation ranges from 50 to 200 euros at hotels in walking distance from the conference site. Santorini has one of the most spectacular landscapes in Greece and in the world. The traditional villages of the island, built on tall cliffs, offer a breathtaking view over the submerged volcano. Among them Oia offers the most famous and stunning sunsets. The second to none friendly and stimulating atmosphere will unite international scientists with common professional interests to share both their knowledge of recent developments as well as their ideas about prospective directions and approaches to nano-scale advancements.
