Welcome to ICEAN 2024

The ICEAN 2024 conference committee would like to wholeheartedly welcome you to the fifth International Conference on Emerging Advanced Nanomaterials (ICEAN).

The conference will be held at the NEX, Newcastle from Monday 4 November to Friday 8 November 2024.

The architecture of novel advanced nano and biomaterials with different physical and chemical properties and structures has gained a lot of momentum and captured the imaginations of active researchers worldwide, as it makes a huge impact on the growth of industrial sectors, and innovation across all sectors including energy, environment, and healthcare and information technology.

The ICEAN aims to bring together scientists active in the fields of advanced nano and biomaterials, especially optronic, photovoltaic, magnetic, organic, porous, composite, computational, sensor, battery, fuel cell, catalytic and biomaterials, from all over the world.

The conference, hosted by the Global Innovative Center for Advanced Nanomaterials (GICAN) and co-organised by IIT-Bombay and Pusan National University, provides an opportunity to share knowledge and create a collaborative platform where the top research experts from all over the world can work together on key and challenging research areas including advanced nano and biomaterials.

The workshop will consist of  Nobel Laureates/Public lectures, Themed lectures, 11 plenary, 10 ARC Laureates, more than 30 keynote and 300 invited lectures from researchers who are pioneers in the field of emerging advanced nano and nanobiomaterials and their applications.

Conference Scope

The conference will cover a range of topics, including:

  • Nanostructured materials (quantum dot, nanowire, nanoparticle, etc)
  • Nanoporous materials
  • Layered materials
  • Optoelectronic and photochromic materials
  • Soft materials (polymers)
  • Magnetic materials
  • Thermoelectric materials
  • Biomaterials
  • Organic nanomaterials
  • Heterogeneous catalysts
