Dear Participant of Mission 10.000,
Thank you very much for having enriched the Mission 10.000 Conference 2018 with your presence and active contribution.
In this edition we reached the record number of almost 250 participants who recognized the relevance of discussing the potential of nanotechnology to drive smart growth and transforming discussion into action.
This increasing conscience entitles INL with the special responsibility of doing even more and better, for the benefit of the Society.
You may also find all the photos and videos of the event in this website.
Look forward to seeing you at the 2019 Mission 10.000 Conference and hope that you really enjoyed this moment.
With best regards,
Mission 10.000 Conference Secretariat
