Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to attend the “18th International Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Conference” that will be taking place at Koç University, İstanbul/Türkiye, on August 26-28, 2024.
Since starting in 2004, the NanoTR conference series has emerged as a premier event in the field of Nanotechnology, annually gathering a diverse group of scientists, experts, and professionals from academia, research institutions, and industry. Over the years, nanoscience has been a driving force in bridging numerous disciplines, demonstrating its profound influence across various sectors. This year, our conference will spotlight the interdisciplinary role of nanoscience in biology and its seamless integration with technological advancements.
This year, we are excited to announce a new addition to our conference series: the inclusion of undergraduate students. This expansion aims to foster engagement in science and technology among young academics, while also providing them with valuable networking and career development opportunities.
Moreover, from the aspect of university-industry collaboration, NanoTR-18 offers a great opportunity for nanotech companies to network and present their products and engage with academia. So, we kindly invite nanotech companies to attend this great event as a part of the nanoscience community and share their experience with us.
We would like to thank you in advance for your kind interest in our conference, your attendance, and your valuable contributions.
We are looking forward to meeting you at the 18th International Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Conference.

Istanbul where East & West meets
Istanbul, the vibrant metropolis straddling two continents, stands as a testament to the confluence of cultures, history, and modernity. Situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, this dynamic city is Turkey's largest and one of the world's most captivating destinations.
With a rich history spanning over millennia, Istanbul has been a focal point of several great civilizations, including the Byzantine, Roman, and Ottoman empires. This historical legacy is reflected in its architectural marvels, from the iconic Hagia Sophia and the majestic Blue Mosque to the grandeur of the Topkapi Palace.
Istanbul is more than a relic of the past; it's a dynamic, cosmopolitan hub brimming with energy. Its streets are alive with the hustle and bustle of bazaars, where the irresistible scent of spices intertwines with the lively banter of merchants. Meanwhile, modern districts offer a contrasting scene, with chic cafes, pulsating nightlife, and a thriving art scene that speaks to the city's contemporary spirit.
Moreover, Istanbul's strategic location along the Bosphorus Strait lends it unparalleled beauty, with stunning vistas of the shimmering waters and the silhouette of minarets against the skyline.
In essence, Istanbul is a city of contrasts, where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with contemporary life, offering visitors a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
Abstracts should be submitted online through the MeetingHand Abstract Submission System, which we use to collect and manage registrations and abstracts for NanoTR conferences. Meetinghand automatically applies the abstract template, but we'd like to provide more details for a seamless submission process:
1. Submission and Editing:
- The system automatically determines the format, including text type, length (min 100 - max 350 words), etc. - The abstract submission system allows editing, saving, and submitting abstracts for evaluation.
- Abstracts can be freely updated until the submission deadline. For post-deadline updates, please send an email via the 'Contact Organizer' link in your participant account (requires login).
2. Title, Presentation Type, and Scientific Topic:
- Please capitalize each word of the title carefully.
- The submitting (corresponding) author must specify the presentation type and the scientific topic for which the abstract is being submitted.
3. Authors:
- The author submitting the abstract is designated as the "Corresponding Author".
- The Corresponding Author must add and define the order of co-authors, select the presenting author, and provide affiliations and email addresses for all authors.
- Authors should be added separately.
- The system will automatically merge affiliations with author names. Please use copy/paste for affiliations to avoid misspellings.
- Rewrite the author's name if there are multiple affiliations.
4. Abstract Body:
- The main abstract text must be written in the designated section and can include basic formatting such as superscript and subscript.
- Copy-paste from doc and pdf documents is available.
- Please carefully review the copied and pasted abstracts in the preview section.
- Please double-check the formulas in the preview step.
- Do not include the title, authors, or affiliations in the abstract body text section (as it corrupts the review and publishing process).
5. Images, Charts, and Tables:
- It is preferable to avoid adding images, charts, or tables in the abstracts. However, if necessary, they can be added as an image only.
6. References and Keywords:
