Overview of FNANO08 Conference: Foundations of Nanoscience is a yearly conference on foundations of nanoscience, maintaining the highest scientific standards. Self-assembly is the central theme of the conference. Topics include self-assembled architectures and devices, at scales ranging from nano-scale to meso-scale. Methodologies include both experimental as well as theoretical approaches.  The conference spans traditional disciplines including chemistry, biochemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics, and various engineering disciplines including MEMS.

The prior last 4 years year's Conferences on Foundations of Nanoscience(FNANO04, FNANO05, FNANO06 and FNANO07) had an significant impact on the emerging fields of Nanoscience and Self-assembly -- they brought many of the leading Nanoscientists and researchers working in a wide variety of areas of Self-assembly in the same place to present invited talks.

The upcoming 5th Conference on Foundations of Nanoscience will have a schedule with many contributed posters and open discussion periods to allow for attendee interaction, as well as invited talks by distinguished Nanoscientists.

ISNSCE Nano-Award: On April 23, the 2008 Nano-Award will be presented to George Whitesides, Department of Chemistry, Harvard University, who will give a Keynote Talk overviewing his pioneering work in Self-Assembly.
