This year's highlight is a special symposium focusing on ‘Life & Green Nanotechnology’. The "life" segment will feature lectures on topics such as 'Regenerative Medicine', 'Personalized Medicine', and 'Imaging', discussing the latest life-science research findings which are moving closer to practical applications thanks to nanotechnology. The dominant theme for the ‘green’ segment will be 'Hydrogen', which is garnering increasing interest as the ultimate source of renewable energy. The program will explore the possibilities of the age of a ‘hydrogen society’ which will bring with it fuel cell vehicles and filling stations, as well as residential-use fuel cells for housing.
