Materials Science & Nanotechnology Conference
Committee Members of Future Materials 2020 are happy to invite participants to join in this annual flagship conference on Materials Science and Nanotechnology which is going to be held on February 26-28, 2020 at Lisbon, Portugal. Future Materials 2020 motto is to share latest research amongst the professionals from industries and Institutes as well as provide platforms for students from research areas of Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Chemistry and Physics to share their ideas, experiences and indulge in interactive discussions and technical sessions at the event. The event will provide a platform for several institutes and organizations to present their services, products, innovations and research results.
Future Materials 2020 is comprised of various sessions designed to offer comprehensive symposiums that address current issues in the field of Materials Science and provides a fantastic opportunity to network with your peers from academia and industrialists which includes professors, researchers, Materials Scientists, Materials Engineers, and Students. The conference also provides an opportunity to meet and network with the experts which includes Prof Ada E. Yonath (Nobel Laureate 2009), Prof Manijeh Razeghi (Northwestern University, USA), Prof Nadrian Seeman (New York University, USA) as some of the major presence in the special panel discussion at the event.

Minister of Science and Technology, Naledi Pandor, focuses on nanotechnology.
“The DST’s nanotechnology development efforts are guided by the 2005 National Nanotechnology Strategy. The Strategy aims to effect both economic and social development. In terms of the Strategy, the development of nanotechnology in the country should be geared towards taking the potential advantages of nanotechnology to (i) address the social challenges the country faces in the area of water, health, and energy and (ii) confer competitiveness to the country’s strategic industries, these being (a) mining and minerals, (b) chemicals and bio-processing, and (c) advanced materials and manufacturing. An implementation plan was developed in 2006 that rested on four pillars, (i) human capital development, (ii) infrastructure, (iii) responsible development and (iv) innovation.
Nanotechnology development in South Africa has grown considerably. This is largely due to the Department’s efforts, which have seen the introduction of several nanotechnology development initiatives. Included in these are the National Nanotechnology Equipment Programme, the Nanotechnology Flagship Programme, and the nano-sciences and nano-technologies research chairs. These have helped catapult nanotechnology research in the country to a point where we are globally recognised”.
