Bilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) and the University of Twente MESA+ Institute are jointly organizing the “Bilkent University UNAM and University of Twente MESA+: Functional Materials and Nanotechnology Workshop 2025” on March 19-20, 2025. This workshop aims to bring together leading researchers in materials science and nanotechnology, strengthening scientific ties between the two countries and fostering knowledge exchange in nanomaterials, optics/photonics, micro-nanoelectronics, and chip systems.

Over the course of two days, the event will highlight the latest advancements in nanotechnology through keynote presentations, panel discussions, lab visits, and dedicated sessions exploring opportunities for collaboration. A key objective is to leverage the advanced research infrastructures in Türkiye and the Netherlands to facilitate international partnerships, particularly within the European Union’s framework programs.

Following the inaugural meeting held in the Netherlands last year, this second edition at Bilkent University UNAM will provide participants with a dynamic platform to share insights, strengthen scientific collaborations, and explore new research opportunities. We hope that this workshop will inspire groundbreaking discoveries and internationally recognized projects in materials science and nanotechnology.
