Europe 2024

29 - 31 October, 2024 | Fraunhofer EMFT, Germany

NANOscientific Forum Europe 2024
NSFE is a part of NANOscientific Symposium Series taking place each year around the globe.

The European edition, NSFE is an open European AFM User Forum focusing on sharing and exchanging the cutting-edge research for both materials and life science disciplines using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

The 7th NSFE 2024 will be held at Fraunhofer EMFT in Germany. The research focus will be laid on wide range of SPM applications and techniques that empower to transform life standards. We will talk about emerging nanomaterials for advanced technologies, functional surfaces, and hybrid materials as well as innovative methods in nanotechnology and correlative microscopy.
