This session for Young Researchers from Latin America (L.A.) is specially designed for scientists doing a PhD or post-doctorate        outside their native countries, for example Europe. It will attract prestigious speaking Keynote Lecturers from Latin America          who can present talks about the research activities they have developed in their countries. This session, organized for the first         time within TNT, will help in developing a nanoscience/nanotechnology network which will then be of great importance for L.A.         young scientists returning home. These will give the possibility to interact with colleagues from abroad and in particular from          various L.A. countries. Apart of keynote speakers, oral presentations will also be given and a special place for L.A. posters will           be arranged in order to promote contacts and interaction among all participants.
