4th Network Day of the Cluster Nanotechnology

July 14-15, 2026 in Würzburg

The Network Day of the Cluster Nanotechnology offers the ideal opportunity to get to know the partners, goals, and activities of the various cooperation networks of the Cluster Nanotechnology. 

The aim of the network day is the cross-network discourse and the stimulation of new cooperation activities between the network partners and beyond. For this purpose, the Cluster Nanotechnology is once again organizing a joint network day in 2026, featuring an exciting conference program and an evening event.

Target group

The event is aimed at interested parties and experts from the areas of research, development, technology, and industry. Find out more about the partners, goals, and activities in the cooperation networks of the Cluster Nanotechnology. Exchange ideas directly with the experts and use the network of the Cluster Nanotechnology for your projects and developments.

Preliminary Agenda

The network day of the Cluster Nanotechnology extends over two days.

Day 1: Networking for success: Successful projects are the result of strong partnerships. The first day of the Networking Day is therefore dedicated entirely to expanding your personal and professional network. Our interactive workshops offer you the ideal platform to get to know the other participants personally, make valuable connections and find potential cooperation partners for your future projects.
