The 23rd
International conference
on the Science and Applications of Nanotubes and Low-Dimensional Materials
4-9 June 2023
Arcachon near Bordeaux, France

NT’23
Welcome
NT’23 is the 23rd conference of the NT series, one of the most influential scientific conferences in the field of nanoscience and technology.
NT’23 will take place from June 4 to 9, 2023 in the city of Arcachon on the banks of the atlantic ocean and near Bordeaux in France.
Topics
The conference will cover a broad range of topics of interest to the nanotube and low-dimensional materials communities.
- Synthesis, processing and functionalization
- Properties and characterisation
- Theory and simulation
- Applications
Dedicated afternoon sessions will focus the discussion on themes ranging from computational challenges, over spectroscopy and metrology, to 2D materials, graphene, device technologies, electronic transport, life science applications, energy, synthesis, fabrication and more.
Format
NT’23 will integrate previous satellite symposia as key element of its afternoon program (parallel focussed sessions). The remainder of the conference is structured around morning keynote lectures, invited and contributed presentations. Emphasis on informal discussions during extended poster sessions remains at the heart of the meeting. An industrial exhibit and forum will allow participants with different backgrounds to come together for exchanging ideas and developing visions.

Practical information
Venue & Travel
The Twenty-Third International Conference on the Science and Applications of Nanotubes and Low-Dimensional Materials (NT’23) will be held at the “Palais des Congrès” of the seaside Arcachon city, near Bordeaux in France. (Fig 1a-b)
Early June corresponds to the beginning of summertime in South-West of France, with usually nice and dry weather (Fig 1c), while displaying a moderate tourism frequentation.
The conference site is easily accessible by train from Paris or Bordeaux.
- Typically the easiest route is to take the high-speed train (TGV) from Paris Charles-de-Gaulle Airport (CDG) to Bordeaux downtown station, then take a regional express train from Bordeaux station to Arcachon. (Fig 1d).
- You can also arrive by plane at Bordeaux-Merignac airport, then take a direct bus shuttle to Bordeaux downtown station, and then take a regional express train from Bordeaux station to Arcachon station. (Fig 1d).
- Another option is to take a direct TGV train from Paris Montparnasse train station to Bordeaux
The conference center is a 5-minute walk from the Arcachon train station, just across from the beach. More info and train tickets at the French Railways website.

Lodging
Information will be provided later.
Covid Info
The French pandemic situation and the rules for entering and leaving France can be consulted here.
Healthcare Center
The city of Arcachon offers many medical services including the Arcachon public hospital located less than 5 km from the conference site.
