Nanotechnology is relatively a new area of science that has
generated tremendous excitement worldwide. With the latest
advancements in this field, scientists are developing the
state-of-the-art tools and products to address pressing needs in
the areas of energy, environment and sustainability. Keeping in
view the significance of nanotechnology and its application, a
seminar in collaboration with State University of New York,
Albany, USA is being organized by the University of Petroleum
and Energy Studies. This 2 day seminar is intended to
disseminate the current advancements and challenges in the
development of multifunctional Nanotechnology tools in the
major areas such as energy, environment and health. This
initiative will further provide a platform for discussing the
potential changes in the national energy mix and how
nanotechnology partnerships in the academic and industry
fields could potentially lead to innovation and invention,
ultimately leading to a low carbon pathway. This platform will
also bring together all the common stakeholders who will
brainstorm on the crucial issues pertaining to theory, process,
and practice of innovation and entrepreneurship in the of
Nano-science and Nano-technology domain.
