7th International Workshop on
Nano-scale Spectroscopy and Nanotechnology
(NSS 7)
July 2^nd – 6^th, 2012, Zurich, Switzerland

Nano-science is ubiquitous in the modern world. Objects with nanometer dimensions are used in computing and electronics, catalysis, photonic- and structural materials. Fabricating such nano-objects and properly characterizing their functionality is a challenge for many fields.

This workshop brings together people engaged in pushing the limits of fabricating, imaging and understanding nano-objects. It will have sessions focused on the functionality of such material as well as on the techniques used to study them. Leading international experts will review the status of the field. Contributed talks and poster sessions will provide a forum for exchange of ideas and future collaboration. An industry exhibit will allow researchers to discuss the state-of-the art in commercial instrumentation.

All of this will take place at the Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ) in Zurich, Switzerland and be concluded by a visit to Paul Scherrer Institut and the Swiss Light Source, two institutions playing a leading role in nano-science and –technology.

Swiss Pavilion @ nano tech 2012, Tokyo
This three day exhibition provides an excellent sales and networking platform, giving Swiss exhibitors a unique opportunity to reach an international, highly focused audience and establish new relationships with potential customers.
 
A look back at nano tech 2011, Tokyo
During the three days of Nanotech 2011 about 46’500 visitors attended, 638 exhibitors from 20 countries had stands, and 13 nations (including Switzerland) had pavilions. Feedback from our exhibitors from 2011 was very good, not surprising since the nano tech offers unparallel opportunities for qualified leads.
 
The program for 2012
The nano tech in Tokyo takes place from February 15 - 17, 2012, at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center in downtown Tokyo. The event attracts the largest audience of any nanotech event anywhere in the world, with a particularly strong participation from the Asia-Pacific nations.
The Swiss Pavilion will be an isle stand at one of the best spots within the exhibition hall and offers 8 exhibition spaces. The attractive Swiss design of the pavilion will draw the visitor's attention and help the participants to acquire new leads.
