Nanotechnology for Security and Crime Prevention III

Security issues today are many. They include protecting citizens and state from organized crime, preventing terrorist acts, and responding to natural and man-made disasters.

17 January 2008 - 17 January 2008
Austria
Nanotechnologies play an important role in addressing current concerns and this conference will provide delegates with a better understanding of such applications in the areas of:

- Forensics (more sensitive detection and analysis of crime-scene materials)
- New sensor technologies (including THz sensors, and autonomous sensor networks)
- Novel methods to protect against fraud (such as quantum dots and magnetic nanomaterial tags)

It will also address the important ethical and societal considerations surrounding the development of novel high tech security systems.

Building on the success of the previous conference on the theme of Crime Prevention and Detection, this one day event will provide an essential update on new scientific developments in the fight against crime, based on nanotechnologies.
