To meet social demands in contemporary social communities, including the production of goods, environmental protection and remediation, energy creation and storage, and biomedical treatments require both (i) synthesis of functional materials by organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, materials science, and supramolecular chemistry and (ii) precise fabrications by micro- and nanotechnology. The nanoarchitectonics concept couples nanotechnology with various research fields, including materials science, supramolecular chemistry, and bio-related sciences, to logically create functional materials from nanoscale units. This project aims to share the latest advances in the emerging field of materials nanoarchitectonics for addressing current global health, energy, and environmental challenges via guest lectures and joint symposium facilitated by the University of Queensland (Australia) and National Institute for Materials Science and Waseda University (Japan) and include attendance by industry representatives. This will enable researchers to share ideas, transfer and translate technology to practical industrial applications, and foster long-term collaborations between participants.
