ICNSNT | International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

The Success Story of the 4th International Conference on Nano Science and Nano Technology – 2017

The 4th International Conference on Nano Science and Nano technology (ICNSNT 2017) was successfully held from 14th – 15th December, 2017 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The Conference was organized by The International Institute of Knowledge Management (TIIKM), Sri Lanka with the collaboration of University of Peradeniye, Sri Lanka under the theme “Emerging Nanotechnologies for Sustainable Development” with the support of Ministry of Power and Energy, Sri Lanka.

The opening remarks of 2017 were made by the Conference Convener Mr. Isanka P. Gamage (Co-Founder & Managing Director – The International Institute of Knowledge Management (TIIKM), Sri Lanka) and Conference chair Prof. K.M. Nalin de Silva (University of Colombo and SLINTEC, Sri Lanka). Dr. B.M.S Batagoda (Secretary to the Ministry of power & Energy, Sri Lanka) was the chief guest of the conference and deliver a speech in the inauguration session.

The keynote forum was consisted with three keynote speeches. The first keynote speech was delivered on “Direct Tissue Engineering Approaches for Regenerative Biology and Medicine” by Prof. Suwan Jayasinghe (Professor of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University College London, United Kingdom)

The second keynote speech was given by Prof. Ashok Kumar Ganguli (Professor of Chemistry, IIT Delhi, Founding Director of Institute of Nano science and Technology, India). Final keynote speech on “Nano-materials in Clean Energy and Health Applications” was delivered by Prof. R.M. Gamini Rajapakse (Senior Professor in Chemistry at University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka).
