Mission

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology are one of the fundamental driving forces in the development of novel concepts for security and safety. It concerns the preparation and investigation of smart nanosized materials as well as their integration in diverse devices. The ASI will bring together scientists from different fields of research and countries, experts and early-stage researchers, who will provide complimentary cutting-edge expertise in the development of reliable innovative strategies in the security and protection against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) treats, for environmental and energy security and for cyber defence taking the advantages of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.

Goals

Presentation to the participants of the cutting-edge nanomaterials and
nanotechnological achievements for applications in different fields of security and
safety and the future perspectives;

Teaching and training of the participants in the scientific and technological
background of nanostructured materials used in fields, like, new generation of
advanced sensors and systems for early detection of CBRN treats, efficient
defence against these agents, information and cyber defence, environmental and
energy security, etc.;

Initiation of trans-border and interdisciplinary collaborations between young
scientists towards the implementation of the recent nanotechnological
achievements in security;

Transfer of competence in the field of Nanoscience advances in different fields of
security in order to meet one of the key priorities of the NATO Science for Peace
and Security Programme.
