Welcome to Nanoient its Tuesday 5th of November 2024
Institute for Environmental Nanotechnology
(Arena Amplified Solution Simplified)
The revolution in the Nano technology has fueled tremendous research activities and interests in the academia as well as in industry. Any Conference / Seminar in this Nano field will be able to reflect this rapid development by providing a meeting place for the discussion of related research, developments, methods, tools and experimental results. Its main goal is to foster multidisciplinary exchange by bringing together researchers and developers, educators and librarians, as well as students and professional users.
Further, to highlight the areas of focus, the Conference / Seminar can be exclusively designed & conducted on the following aspects:
Proposals to organize the Conference / Seminar should be written as an application document, must include the following aspects:
Proposals will be evaluated by the IENT Board with respect to the following criteria:
Proposers are invited to communicate with the IENT Board via the contact email provided on the first page of this document. Requirements
Ideally, the location of the Conference / Seminar will be decided on following the laid-down criteria. This is a desirable aspect of a bid rather than a strict rule.
Dates of the Conference / Seminar should not conflict with other important meetings or major holidays.
Organizers are encouraged to indicate whether they would be interested in other dates, if necessary.
Organizers must agree to reserve an adequate number of meeting rooms for conference activities
Proposals should include a description of the local context (town specificities, typical climate in target dates, closest international airport, typical international travel costs, local transportation, etc.).
The organising committee should propose various committees as per the suggested requirement:
In their formal application to host a Conference / Seminar, interested institutions must agree to either reserve a large number of rooms, or provide evidence that a large number of rooms will be available to participants:
An indicative timeline should be provided, covering the whole period between the date of proposal to target dates of the conference, and including milestones dates.
We encourage organisers to keep to their advertised deadlines unless there are unexpected circum- stances which create the need for an extension. Any extension should be fair (apply equally to all authors) and public (announced on the mailing list).
The Conference / Seminar has traditionally intended to be accessible and affordable both to organisers (in terms of organisation complexity and financial burden) and to participants. Organisers must explicitly agree to do their best effort to reach financial break-even (i.e. no financial gain nor loss).
Organisers must agree to registration fees comparable to, or cheaper than, those of previous conferences.
Managing the conference budget is the responsibility of the conference organisers. Although the objective is for the organisers to reach financial break-even, post-conference financial balance may show a small loss or profit.
Proposals should describe how you intend to support students (e.g. by means of travel grants and/or cheap housing).
Organisers must agree to implement a rigorous blind peer review workflow. A detailed document regarding the implementation of that workflow will be provided in due time by the Board to the organisers.
Submitted papers should be evaluated according to the following criteria:
Proposals can propose a slightly different list of criteria, to be eventually decided between the organisers and the Board.
Organisers must agree to use the START V2 Conference Manager System (CMS) for managing all operations and communications related to the scientific program of the conference (paper submission, communication with reviewers, etc.).
Note that this incurs a price.
The Conference website will be called http://.nanoient.org/conference/acronym/year. The URL will be provided by the Board. Organisers must link their site to that URL. Website hosting, content edition and management is the responsibility of the organisers from its initial publication online until at most two months after the completion of the conference. After this date, the organisers must provide a static version of the website for public archiving on the official JENT domain.
The website must include guidelines for reviewers.
The conference website must include a page with the list of previous JENT conferences to date and/or link back to the JENT official website.
The official JENT logo should be displayed prominently on the conference web site, proceedings, program booklets, and any other JENT-related document.
Proposals should include a list of scheduled activities (see Section 1.1), together with a draft program for the conference (subject to change).
The conference program should include keynote or invited speakers.
Finding an appropriate keynote speaker (relevant to JENT, a good speaker, well-known, etc.) often takes a long time, so it should be started early.
Conference organisers must cover the travel and housing expenses of the keynote and invited speakers, and provide complimentary conference registrations. If an honorarium is paid (which has not been the norm at JENT), it should be symbolic, to avoid increasing the registration fees.
Organisers must agree to publish papers and posters selected by the review committee report.
Papers must be made accessible and linked on the conference website, on the latest at the starting day of the conference.
A complete book of proceedings must be edited and a PDF version must be linked on the conference website as an online proceeding with unique DOI No. for each article.
An electronic version of the book of Proceedings must be provided to each registered participant of the conference upon registration.
Printed copies may be provided as an option to participants (for an optional extra fee), but are no longer compulsary if an electronic proceedings is supplied.
Organisers must agree to publish papers under the agreed terms of reference.
The number of papers presented at the conference and balance between oral vs. poster presenta- tions must not vary too much from previous editions of the conference (see Section 3).
Organisers must agree that for each accepted paper, at least one author must register for the conference, and that papers with no registered author on the author registration deadline will be removed from the conference program and will not appear in the proceedings nor on the conference website.
Organisers must ensure that papers presented at the conference and published in the proceedings consist of original contributions (not previously published and not being considered for publication elsewhere on the date of presentation at JENT).
To ensure consistent proceedings, organisers must provide templates, together with detailed instructions on formatting paper submissions as per the JENT format. We encourage organisers to use the same format and templates.
All accepted papers (oral presentation and posters) must have the same format.
All papers to be published in the proceedings must be no more than 6 pages long and conform to JENT format (e.g. include all fonts).
All images submitted with the papers should conform to the JENT prescribed pixel strength for proper resolution of the said images.
At the discretion of each facilitator in the Late-break/Demo/Unconference, notes taken during a given session will be refined into a 1-2 page summary, with a deadline for this document set at three weeks after the close of the Conference.
A single comprehensive document will be compiled by the Late-break/Demo/Unconference Chair(s), consisting of fixed copies of all organizing documents, including but not limited to a given outline:
This final document will be made available on the conference website as the Late- break/Demo/Unconference report, separate and distinct from the conference proceedings.
Organisers must also agree to provide, at the latest 2 months after the end of the conference, a final report describing the way the scientific program was organised. A template report from previous editions of the conference will be provided to organisers, which they can update at the end of the conference. This report is passed on to future conference organisers, to ensure continuity and retention of best practice.
The list of previous JENT Conferences can be given.
Diverse useful statistics for previous JENT conferences may be made available on the JENT official website.
