SCOPE OF MEETING

NANOPOROUS MATERIALS meetings are intended to bring together investigators from multiple disciplines to discuss complementary approaches and recent advances in this important field. Materials of interest are all those with pore sizes larger than 1 nm. This includes:

New findings on innovative self-assembled porous materials with less than 1 nm pores will also be considered. Studies on synthesis, modification, characterization and applications of such materials are welcome.



VENUE

The technical sessions of the meeting will be held at the University of British Columbia in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. For accommodation, a block of rooms has been reserved for the attendees on campus at the West Coast Suites and the Gage Towers. Further information regarding the exact conference site, accomodation and social events will be provided shortly.
