On behalf of SPIE and the symposium organizers, we welcome you to the international symposium on Smart Nano + Micro Materials and Devices in Melbourne, Australia. The symposium is an interdisciplinary forum for collaboration and learning among top researchers in all fields related to nano- and microscale materials and technologies. Presentations will detail exciting applications in air/water/food quality, energy, security, and medicine

The conference will run for three days, and will include both oral and poster presentations. We will have over 140 technical presentations in total. Additionally, we will have a one-hour plenary presentation each morning of the conference that you won't want to miss! Our plenary presenters are Martin A. Green, Univ. of New South Wales; Sajeev John, Univ. of Toronto; and Shanhui Fan, Stanford Univ.

The symposium venue is the Swinburne University of Technology Hawthorn Campus, home to world-class research groups in nanophotonics and biophotonics. The campus is only 7 kilometers from downtown Melbourne. A major cultural center of the southern Pacific, the city boasts exquisite Victorian architecture, fine parks and waterways, and a long tradition of multiculturalism. And remember that in Australia, December is springtime!
