Welcome to NanoTR-20

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure to invite you to join us at the 20th International Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Conference (NanoTR-20), which will take place at the İzmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH), İzmir, Türkiye, on August 26–28, 2026.

Over the past two decades, the NanoTR conference series has grown into one of the leading gatherings in the field of nanoscience & nanotechnology, uniting scientists, early career researchers, students, and industry professionals who are shaping the future of nanotechnology. From its beginnings in 2004 as a national initiative, NanoTR has become global platform where innovation, collaboration, and scientific excellence intersect.

A New Milestone for NanoTR
Following our recent focus on academia–industry cooperation (2024) and defense industry-oriented nanotechnology applications (2025), this year NanoTR-20 expands its horizons even further.
The 2026 edition will feature multiple specialized symposia and workshops in emerging and fast-evolving fields such as: Electron microscopy, quantum technologies, innovative materials, and more… 
These side events will offer deeper, hands-on engagement and foster collaboration across the expanding NanoTR community.

Beyond Science — An Immersive Experience
At NanoTR, we believe true connections often form beyond the lecture halls. This year, we’re embracing İzmir’s vibrant summer spirit with an open-air Rock Live Performance Evening on the IZTECH campus, where participants can unwind, network, and celebrate the shared passion for discovery that empower our community.

With over 800 participants expected, NanoTR-20 will be more than a conference — it will be a collective experience, where science, innovation, and human connection come together in an inspiring Aegean atmosphere.

We look forward to welcoming you once again to İzmir—where the beauty of the Aegean meets the brilliance of scientific minds—for what promises to be an unforgettable 20th anniversary edition of the NanoTR series.

With warm regards,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee

İZMİR HOST CITY

İzmir, Turkey's third-largest city with a metropolitan population of over 4.4 million, is a vibrant Mediterranean port city where ancient history meets modern dynamism. Known historically as Smyrna, this coastal gem has been continuously inhabited for nearly 5,000 years, serving as a crucial hub for trade, culture, and scholarship throughout civilizations.

Strategically positioned on the Aegean coast, İzmir seamlessly blends its rich historical heritage with contemporary urban life. The city is home to ancient treasures such as the Agora of Smyrna, the historic Kemeraltı Bazaar, and the iconic Kordon waterfront promenade. Beyond the city center, the region offers remarkable archaeological sites including the ancient cities of Ephesus, Pergamon, and Sardis—all UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

As Turkey's primary gateway to the Aegean region, İzmir is renowned for its progressive outlook, thriving commercial sector, and world-class universities. The city enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers, complemented by a relaxed lifestyle and celebrated culinary traditions. From its bustling port to its innovation-driven technology zones, İzmir represents a perfect blend of tradition and modernity.

Nearby Attractions:

Urla Peninsula: The conference venue in Urla offers proximity to charming seaside towns, boutique wineries, artisan villages, and pristine beaches—perfect for extending your visit.

Çeşme: Just 25 km from İYTE, this popular resort town features thermal springs, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant nightlife.

Ancient Ephesus: One of the best-preserved ancient cities in the Mediterranean, located approximately 80 km south of İzmir.

We invite you to explore İzmir's unique character—where innovation in nanotechnology meets the timeless beauty of the Aegean, and where every corner tells a story spanning millennia!

Abstract Submission Guideline:

We kindly request you review the following details for a smooth submission experience:

  • You may submit up to 2 abstracts, with only 1 abstract for each presentation type.
  • Editing, saving, and submitting for review are enabled in the system.
  • Please select the presentation type and scientific topic.
  • The system automatically formats abstract length, type, etc.
  • Capitalize each word in the title within a max of 20 words.
  • The submitting author is the “Corresponding Author.”
  • Add co-authors individually and order them using drag and drop.
  • Carefully enter author affiliations and emails since the system automatically merges based on name. Copy/paste affiliations to avoid misspellings and rewrite names if authors have multiple affiliations.
  • The text must be 100-400 words, written in the appropriate section, and can use basic formatting like super/subscripts. Copy/paste from Word or PDF is enabled, but check formatting in the preview.
  • Please avoid images, charts, and tables if possible. But if necessary, you can add them as images.
  • Do not include the title, authors, and affiliations in the text section. You may mention research support like project names.
  • Only add references and keywords in the designated fields, not in the abstract text.
  • Research support notes can optionally be added to the text section if applicable.
