The International Meeting on Developments in Materials, Processes and Applications of Nanotechnology (MPA) to be held in Manchester (UK) will be the third event of the MPA meeting series. The first meeting (MPA-2007) was in 2007 and held at the University of Ulster (Belfast), which officially launched the Society of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology to the international community. The second meeting in 2008 (MPA-2008) was held at the University of Cambridge (UK).

After its success as MPA-2007 and MPA-2008, MPA-2009 will continue to aim to attract a balanced portion of delegates from academia, industry and research institutions and laboratories involved with research and development work. In doing so, the event will provide a binding platform for academics and industrialists to network together, exchange ideas, provide new information and give new insights into overcoming the current challenges facing the academics and the industrialists relating to nanomaterials and the exploitation of their application areas.

This blog will keep you updated with all developments with not only the MPA 2009 meeting but also the wider nanotechnology developments from around the world.
