We are thrilled to unveil the lineup for the NFFA-Europe Symposium on Quantum Nanomaterials, which will be held during the European Materials Research Society (EMRS) 2023 Fall Meeting at the Warsaw University of Technology in Warsaw, Poland. The symposium consists of four sessions scheduled for September 18^th from 14:00 to 17:20 and September 19^th from 9:00 to 12:40 (CEST).

The Quantum Nanomaterials Symposium is organised by NFFA-Europe and chaired by Connie Bednarski-Meinke and Flavio Carsughi from Forschungzentrum Jülich, Germany, Giancarlo Panaccione from CNR-IOM, Italy, and Jose A. Martín Gago from CSIC, Spain.

The primary objective of this cutting-edge symposium is to disseminate the current state of nanoscale research to scientists from diverse backgrounds. Specifically, it aims to:

• Illuminate the pivotal quantum-driven aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology;
• Explore innovative facets and potential future ramifications, showcasing the transformative potential of nanotechnology across various domains;
• Foster collaboration among research groups dedicated to pioneering quantum materials and related phenomena.

The symposium’s programme will feature a diverse array of invited and contributed oral presentations and posters, all at the forefront of the field. It will also provide extensive coverage of the field’s multifaceted evolution.

Below you can find the final Agenda for the NFFA-Europe Symposium on Quantum Nanomaterials (Symposium Y), which will be held in Room 206, Warsaw University of Technology.
