Title: Nanotechnology Executive Summary: Nanotechnology is a field of applied science focused on design, synthesis, characterization and application of materials and devices on nanoscale. The field offers wide range of applications in nano-mechanics, nano-chemistry, nano-biology and nanooptics. The proposed symposium will be focused on exploring nanotechnology at all levels through interactive presentations by renowned speakers. The fast changing pace of technology makes it difficult for academia to keep up with the latest developments. The symposium aims to provide current and detailed description of nanotechnology for the participants. The proposed symposium will serve as a launch pad of idea for participants, especially industrialists and researchers. As industry representatives will also participate in the symposium, they will get a chance to collaborate during the symposium through panel discussion with academia. The symposium will form the foundation for a long lasting industrial collaboration with UET Peshawar. Objectives of Symposium: The key objectives of the symposium on nanotechnology are; • To educate academia as well as students of NWFP UET about the exciting field of nanotechnology and molecular manufacturing • To raise awareness among local industry leaders about the avenues nanotechnology can open for industrialists and academia for cooperation • To prepare the grounds for research regarding socio-economic applications of nanotechnology Name of Speakers from Universities Miss Anisa Zaib Tahir Khaily, State Minister for Education will be the Chief Guest on the occasion. Dr. Rozina Tufail, MNA & Parliamentary Secretary for Statistic Division will inaugurate the workshop. Dr. Ifftikhar NWFP UET Dr. Mazhar Mahmood PIEAS Dr. Ruh ullah NUST Dr. F. A.
