Nanotechnology is used as a key technology in numerous areas. The consideration of opportunities and risks will also be the focus of the 4^th symposium. During the two-day event, topics such as the use of nanotechnology in textiles and packaging, its application in agriculture, the introduction of nanomaterials into the body and future-oriented assessment approaches will be presented.
