The 2027 N4SNano Global Summit, organized by the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology and Saxion University of Applied Sciences, will bring together researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers to explore the role of micro- and nanotechnology in advancing sustainability.

The summit will be held 13-16 June 2027 at the U Parkhotel, located on the campus of the University of Twente in Enschede, the Netherlands.

The summit will feature keynote and contributed presentations, panel discussions, poster sessions, and laboratory and company visits.
