Bilkent University UNAM has proudly hosted an annual NanoDay event where prominent figures from the global scientific community converge. Researchers, students, and industry representatives from Turkey and beyond come together for this extraordinary occasion. We are thrilled to announce that this year’s NanoDay will take place on Wednesday, May 15, 2024.
As part of NanoDay 2024, we will have the honor of hosting Prof. Monika Ritsch-Marte from the Innsbruck Medical University in Austria, who is renowned for her expertise in biomedical imaging. We will also welcome Prof. Pepijn Pinkse from the University of Twente in the Netherlands to share his recent research on quantum optics in complex systems. Additionally, Prof. Sergey Gaponenko from the Belarusian Academy of Sciences for his significant contributions to the fields of nanophotonics and semiconductor nanocrystals.
Since its inception, UNAM has brought together more than 3,000 individuals through NanoDay in pursuit of scientific inquiry. This remarkable event not only fosters a vibrant atmosphere of discovery but also empowers students from Bilkent University and other esteemed institutions to showcase their talents. Through engaging activities like the NanoArt competition and the NanoPoster competition and exhibition, young innovators find a platform to express their creativity and passions, transforming the event into a celebration of knowledge and expression.
