Dear Colleagues, dear Members of the NanoMeta community,

Since the year 2007 the success of the NanoMeta conference relied on the participation of leading researchers from around the world and from the professional contacts that were made in Seefeld.

Sadly, this is not possible now in the current circumstances, and we are not sure how the Covid-19 situation will be in January 2021.

With regret that we have to postpone the meeting that was due in January 2021 by one year. We have also decided that a video meeting is not a substitute for NanoMeta.

However, we are pleased to announce that the next Nanometa conference will be organized – as always – in the snowy mountain resort of Seefeld/Tirol in Austria from Thursday, January 6, to Sunday, January 9, 2022.

More details to appear on the conference website in due course.

We look forward to meeting you in 2022.

Stay safe!

With our best regards,

Nikolay I. Zheludev, University of Southampton and NTU Singapore

****************

NANOMETA aims to bring together the international Nanotechnology, Photonics and Materials research communities where most recent and challenging results and plans are discussed in the informal setting on a glorious mountaineering resort. The technical programme will include invited and selected contributed papers in the areas of:

• low dimensional photonic materials and phenomena
• plasmonics and metamaterials, quantum nanophotonics
• topological light and matter
• artificial intelligence and nanophotonics
• advanced nanophotonic applications.

The conference will be organised in two oral parallel sessions (Nanophotonics and Metamaterials) and will feature joint plenary, tutorial and post-deadline sessions to take place from Thursday 6 January (all day) to Sunday 9 January 2022 (all day). The conference timetable will be arranged in a way that permits mid-day breaks for recreational activities and informal contact between participants.

Nanometa 2022 will present plenary and breakthrough talks. The conference will also feature a number of invited talks devoted to recent important advances in nanophotonics and metamaterials science.
