This symposium is aimed at presenting the most relevant electrochemical achievements as well as current experimental and theoretical challenges in the area of generating, controlling, characterizing and exploiting nanosystems. On one side, basic aspects of the pivotal role of electrochemistry in the future development of the science of nanosystems will be stressed and discussed. On the other side, methods for preparing nanostructured materials and technologically oriented nano-objects will also be considered.

Topics will include
- Nanoparticles, including nanowires, nanodots, nanoholes, nanopores, nanopillar arrays, etc.
- Self assembled monolayers
- Molecular machines and devices
- Biomimetic membranes modified and functionalized electrodes
- Nanoelectrodes
- Bionsensors
- Molecular electronics
- Electrochemical electron transfer at functionalized nano-objects
- Application of the electrochemical scanning-probe microscopy techniques
- Optical properties of nanoparticles
- Electrocatalytic reactions on nanoparticles
- Solar energy conversion at nanostructured interfaces
- Computer simulations of nanostructuring processes
- Quantum mechanical calculations of self-assembled and nanostructured systems
- Theoretical Aspects of electron transfer reactions at nanosystems.
