Society for Functional Nanomaterials

Our Vision

The Society for Functional Nanomaterials will initiate a theatre of opportunity that reflects, captures and encourages the best in academic and industrial collaboration and support to positively influence in the commercialisation of Functional Nanomaterials.

Creating an active network within academic and industrial communities and attracting visionary individuals, companies and scholars that will charge dynamic developments in priority research areas is a founding principle.

The Society is committed to promoting education in Functional Nanomaterials to develop the professionals and industry leaders of the future and provide an environment for sharing knowledge with the wider nanoscience community.
