Welcome

The V4-Japan workshop on Chemical gas sensors and nanostructured materials is a collaborative event aimed at bringing together researchers from the Visegrad Group (V4) countries and Japan. The workshop will focus on the latest advancements in chemical gas sensors and the development of nanostructured materials. It will provide a platform to share knowledge, discuss challenges, and explore new opportunities for cooperation in these fields.

The workshop will take place in Prague, Czechia, from July 30 to 31, 2024. We encourage all participants to submit an abstract using the provided template and contribute to the oral or poster sessions. Accepted submissions will have the opportunity to present presentations (15 minutes + 5 minutes for questions) or posters during the workshop. We look forward to welcoming you to Prague in July 2024!


Important dates

  • Abstract submission & registration: 22.7.2024 (template)
  • Workshop opening: 30.7.2024
  • Presentations

    Selected contributions will be presented in the form of oral presentations (15+5 min) or posters (up to format A0).
