Nanotechnology and medical devices

Nano Connect Scandinavia and Biopeople are hosting a seminar and science dating event on Nanotechnology and Medical Devices, on 11 January.

Spend an afternoon in Copenhagen at the Carlsberg Akademi where six excellent researchers will present different examples of how nanotechnology is used in relation to medical devices. In particular we will focus on biocompatibility and surfaces.

In addition the day provides you with an exclusive opportunity to meet and network with researchers and companies within your industry. Hence, you can book short meetings at the science dating sessions with other participants or the speakers where you can look into possibilities for collaboration.
