NanoteC is one of the longest running carbon nanoscience conferences in Europe, since 1998. It has been bringing together scientists working in carbon science at the nanoscale. While each of these materials has its own dedicated research community, NanoteC draws on common themes and allows researchers to share insight into this unique element at the nanoscale. The NanoteC conferences are renowned for their relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with emphasis on discussion and participation. We endeavor to achieve as large student participation, and we anticipate that the keynote talks will be strongly influential on the next generation of nanotechnology scientists
