In early February, 2012, the 10th Asia-Pacific Microscopy Conference (APMC 10), the 2012 International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICONN 2012) and the 22 nd Australian Conference on Microscopy and Microanalysis (ACMM 22) will be held in Perth, Western Australia, as a single, integrated event. The Conference will include pre-event Short Courses, Workshops and a concurrent major Equipment Exhibition, at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. The combined event will be the largest microscopy and nanotechnology-related event in Australia’s history. Over 1,500 delegates from more than 30 nations are expected to provide a unique and exciting forum. The Conference is being conducted under the auspices of the Council of Asia-Pacific Societies for Microscopy (CAPSM), The Australian Research Council Nanotechnology Network (ARCNN) and the Australian Microscopy and Microanalysis Society Inc (AMMS). The Conference is dedicated to the memory of David Cockayne FRS ( 1942-2011). On behalf of the Organising Committee we invite you to Perth in 2012. Brendan Griffin & Lorenzo Faraone The University of Western Australia About ACMM 22 & APMC 10 About ICONN 2012 The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology promise has been around for some time. In the 21st century, researchers are working on technologies to achieve these exact goals! The prospect of injecting patients with machines to make repairs, of creating super-strong and light materials for space exploration, of restoring environmental systems on a molecular level are all part of the promise of Nanotechnology. Most importantly, unlike so many other fields, Nanotechnology is delivering. ICONN 2012 will bring together national and international researchers, industry, students and early career scientists to present the latest in the truly multidisciplinary research fields covering nine symposia from the nanosafety, regulatory and ethics of nanotechnology, nano materials, devices, systems and industry applications. We have already attracted a number of outstanding international plenary speakers and will hold a number of short courses in a number of areas related to nanoscience and nanotechnology. Microscopy and microanalysis are sciences that progress rapidly through innovative applications and technological advances by very smart people. We are proud that many of these people, have accepted our invitation to be a part of this conference in Perth. The Asia-Pacific Microscopy Conference is a four yearly flagship event run by The Committee of Asia-Pacific Societies for Electron Microscopy (CAPSEM). CAPSEM started in 1984 under the auspices of the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy (IFSM), of which it is a regional member. CAPSM was founded to foster the development of all aspects of electron microscopy by supporting existing activities and stimulating new ones. CAPSM also assists individual researchers and regional research groups in meeting their needs such as technical staff training, while facilitating the interchange of information from past meetings. In 2008 the CAPSM Council voted to combine the APMC- 10 with the 22 nd Australian Conference on Microscopy and Microanalysis, the first time for an APMC in Australia. A further opportunity arose to integrate with the ICONN 2012, resulting in the largest microscopy and nanotechnology event ever to be held in Australia. The 2012 Conference will present the latest developments in the instrumentation, specimen preparation and integration of microscopy and microanalysis of different areas of physical and biological sciences. 2
About the Host Bodies CAPSEM When the 3rd International Congress on Electron Microscopy (ICEM) was held in London in 1954, the International Federation of Societies for Electron Microscopy (IFSEM) was founded. It was agreed that IFSEM should sponsor regional conferences in Europe (EUREM) and Asia, as well as the Oceania Regional Conference (AORC). All three events are quadrennial but occur in biennially staggered intervals. The AORC and the EUREM take place in the same year. CAPSM was founded to foster the development of all aspects of electron microscopy by supporting existing activities and stimulating new ones. The Committee supports and initiates specialised meeting, symposia and workshops. CAPSM also assists individual researchers and regional research groups in meeting their needs such as technical staff training, while facilitating the interchange of information from past meetings. ANN (Australian Nanotechnology Network) (Note ARCNN is now called ANN) The Nanotechnology field is one of the fastest growing areas of research and technology. The Australian Nanotechnology Network (ANN), which was formerly known as the ARCNN, is dedicated to substantially enhancing Australia’s research outcomes in this important field by promoting effective collaborations, exposing researchers to alternative and complementary approaches from other fields, encouraging forums for postgraduate students and early career researchers, increasing nanotechnology infrastructure, enhancing awareness of existing infrastructure, and promoting industry and international links. The ANN will achieve these goals through its dedication to bringing together all the various groups working in the field of Nanotechnology and related areas within Australia. ICONN is the major forum designed to achieve these goals.
