NanoScale 2023 will take place in the conference centre Technopolis Ruoholahti in the West of the centre of Helsinki, just 2 km from the heart of the town (i. e. from Market Square, Cathedral, Esplanades...). We plan to meet in person (virtual participation is currently not planned).
Submission of abstracts via webinterface is open!
Please submit your abstract (4000 characters + max 3 figures, i. e. about 2 pages) until mid-June 2023Review of abstracts by Scientific Committee in July 2023
Notification of acceptance as poster or oral presentation in August 2023
Registration for participation is open! Fees:
- early-bird normal 395 €, early-bird undergraduate student 250 € (registration until 2023-08-15)
- late registration 595 € (registration after 2023-08-15)
This year’s Nanoscale will include Special Sessions on "High-speed SPM measurements of functional properties of nanostructures" and "3D roughness & dimensional measurements using optical 3D microsopy and optical distance sensors" (EMPIR projects 20IND08 MetExSPM and 20IND07 TracOptic). Lab tours to the metrology labs of VTT MIKES on the Otaniemi campus in Espoo will be offered to the participants, too.
All submissions will be included in the Booklet of Abstracts that will be handed out to the participants upon check-in.
NanoScale intends to offer peer-reviewed publication of full papers in a (virtual) Special Issue of Measurement Science and Technology (MST). As so-called Transformative and Institutional Open Access Agreements have been concluded recently, most authors can publish in MST on an open access basis at no cost to themselves. Please wait with your MST submission until details for this Special Issue submission will be given; the deadline for submission will be a few weeks after the conference, to allow authors more time for the drafting of their manuscripts. Once published, all NanoScale participants will be granted free access to all papers (incl. those that are not open access) of this Special Issue for a given time.
