This event will examine technologies that offer real environmental benefit, and will also review the findings of the recently published STOA report on the Role of Nanotechnology in Chemical Substitution.

This one day event will examine a wide spectrum of new scientific developments taking place in the fight against crime. The latest discoveries and advances will be discussed, from anti-terrorism laser technology with the potential to revolutionise airport security to the latest research discoveries in nanoforensics.

Due to the limitations and costs of animal experimentation there is a great deal of research being carried out on finding viable and effective alternatives. This conference will highlight some of the potential applications in nanotechnology in reducing animal experiments whilst maintaining safety for patients and consumers.
