~15 keynote talks will be presented by invited speakers drawn from leading groups across Europe, US and Asia-Pacific, complemented by presentations from local groups. A poster session will complete the program, while optional lab visits at the adjacent Walter Schottky Institut and Center for Nanotechnology & Nanomaterials (www.wsi.tum.de) will be also organized on October 29.
