A warm Welcome to NME21

On behalf of the organizing team of Empa and partners, I am very pleased to welcome you all to the NanoMed Europe 2021 Conference in Switzerland, in the area of Lake of Constance, at the historical town St. Gallen.

The current situation illustrates very clearly that diseases and in this case, infection diseases have a tremendous impact on our society, economy and social environment. It shows also, that only interdisciplinary approaches, close collaborative exchanges between scientists, clinicians as well as the industry can address and hopefully overcome such a pandemic crisis.

NanoMed Europe is designed to motivate and foster interactions, networking, and enabling work in partnerships to seek for solutions to societal challenges of present times. The European Nanomedicine research community has a large tradition for collaborative work, is bridging to next key enabling technologies and is implementing it, to address and as long-term vision, cure diseases.

It is my great pleasure to be the Chair of  NME21, to host you all for an exciting meeting giving you the best possible platform for your presentations, debates and dynamism and wish us a fruitful conference, a memorable visit to Empa and an enjoyable stay in St. Gallen.

Sincerely,

Dear ETPN members, dear Nanomedicine colleagues,
The European Technology Platform on Nanomedicine (ETPN) is happy to invite you to the next edition of NanoMedEurope, NME21, which this time will visit St. Gallen, a historical town in the Northeast of Switzerland. ETPN organizes the NME21 in close collaboration with our local host from EMPA under the lead of Peter Wick.

In these challenging times, it is important to have new adventures to look forward to and create European meeting places for interdisciplinary collaborations between academics, clinicians, and industry to address emerging health challenges. NME21 will be a unique place in Europe to meet scientists, companies, agencies, EC officers with interest in nanomedicine development. We will motivate, foster, and showcase great science, enable networking, create new partnerships and brainstorm about the industrial expansion of Nanomedicine, all in a friendly and vibrant atmosphere.

NME 21 will have a mix of key invited presentations and possibilities for you to present your projects in addition to a lot of networking in breaks and social events. We look forward to seeing you all in St. Gallen at NME21!
