2nd announcement
The organising committee of the Functional Materials and Nanotechnologies conference (FM&NT-2017) wishes you a very happy and successful new year. We would like to kindly inform you, that the registration to the conference is now opened, please visit our conference web http://www.fmnt.ut.ee/registration/ for registration. The deadline for the Early Bird registration is 25.03.2017.
Also the abstract submission has been started and will last till the March 1st, 2017. The abstracts will be collected in MS Word (*.doc or *.docx) and *.pdf formats. Templates, abstract submission form and other information regarding the abstracts can be found here: http://www.fmnt.ut.ee/abstract-upload/
We would like to remind you, that the conference will be held at the Dorpat conference centre in Tartu, Estonia in April, 24 – 27, 2017.

Proceedings
Full papers will be reviewed and published in the Proceedings of Estonian Academy of Science. It is a journal, indexed in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science database. Each full-delegate can publish one full paper.
Venue
Tartu is a modern city with a rich historical heritage and culture. It is the intellectual capital of Estonia. Three month ago the Estonian biggest and most modern museum – Estonian National Museum was opened here. Please read more about it in The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2017/jan/01/estonia-national-museum-review-touching-and-revealing-dgt-dorell.
All FM&NT-2017 delegates will have a great opportunity to visit this museum during conference dinner and excursion on 26. April 2017.
We are looking forward to see You in Tartu!
