The International Symposium on Clusters and Nanomaterials (ISCAN) 2015 will be held October 26–29, 2015, in Richmond, Va., USA. It is sponsored by Virginia Commonwealth University.

The symposium will focus on the role clusters and nanomaterials play in solving outstanding problems in energy and life sciences. In the area of energy, focus will be on solar, hydrogen, thermoelectric, and electrochemical storage for energy applications. In the area of life sciences, the focus will be on bioactive, bioresponsive, and biomimetic materials; nanotoxicity; bioengineering; and regenerative medicine. Topics associated with both areas such as reactions, catalysis, electronic, optical, and magnetic properties will also be included. It will be an interdisciplinary exchange, bringing together researchers from physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, engineering, and medicine.

In addition to 14 plenary sessions of invited talks and two poster sessions, the symposium will feature oral presentations from contributed abstracts. The abstract submission deadline is July 10. Early registration ends August 14. The manuscript submission deadline is November 29.
