2009.08.31: The deadline for submission of the papers for the special issues of Nanotechnology (on semiconductor science and technology) and Nano Research Letters (on organic and bio related electronics, photonics nd renewable energy) has been extended until the end of September. This is the final deadline. Please, submit your papers according the instructions available at the publications web page

2009.07.16: Separate registration for the Summer School at the NGC/CSTC 2009 2009 conference (tutorial lectures on August 10 and 11) is open without registration fee to the local students in Canada through kind support and encouragement of the meeting host McMaster University. Registration is, however, required. Paid registration at the NGC/CSTC 2009 conference includes all events listed in the the technical program of the meeting, including the Summer School.

2009.06.25: Reminder from NGC2009 Organizers: The deadline for the regular conference fee payment is July 10 . After July 10 the conference fee will be 500 USD (600 CAD) and the hotels may also use our reserved rooms for sale to general public for the market price. We recommend our participants to make their conference fee payment and hotel reservation earlier rather than later to avoid unnecessary extra costs for their travel. Your early payment and secured participation help also to the conference planning and contribute to its succcess.
