Scope of the symposium:
The primary goal of the EMRS is to promote the materials agenda within the European Research Community, focusing on both fundamental and applied issues concerning materials development, assessment, functionality, and applications. This proposed symposium addresses laser and plasma materials synthesis, processing, and diagnostics with the special emphasis on micro-and nano-scale applications across a broad range of science and technologies, directed towards both fundamental and applied end goals. Laser ablation, patterning, micro/nano structuring, microanalysis and laser synthesis of nanomaterials of materials have been applied across the full range of scientific disciplines, covering materials science, engineering, photonics, biophotonics, display technologies and opto- and micro-electronics for biosensing and environmental monitoring. The recent widespread availability of high power and ultrashort pulse lasers has also opened up the realm of multiphoton materials processing, enabling the fabrication of subsurface structures inside functional dielectric hosts, laser direct write techniques and true nanoscale materials engineering, where structures of sub-wavelength dimensions can be designed and produced using photons. This symposium will focus on the inherent interdisciplinarity of laser and plasma materials processing, and will engage across the broadest range of topic areas. There will be great emphasis on the scope for research collaboration between laser scientists and those in the biological and life sciences arenas, where the challenge exists for building bridges across these otherwise dissimilar fields. A dedicated session will address hot topics within the bioscience area, where laser and plasma processing can make significant inroads.

List of topics:
- Ultrashort laser pulse interaction with materials: diagnostics, modeling, materials processing and characterization
- Laser processing of polymers, biomolecules and biomaterials
- Laser assisted fabrication for sensors (bio-, chemical- and environmental-)
- Lasers for synthesis, structuring and manipulation of new materials: nanotubes, clusters and nanoparticles
- Pulsed laser deposition of thin films: new materials and applications
- Nanoscale processing by near-field techniques
- 3D micro-structuring for MEMS, MOEMS, photonic crystals and photonic applications
- Direct laser printing and laser lithography
- Laser and plasma processing and characterization of nano-structured materials
- Laser-based spectroscopy of nanomaterials and thin films
- Diagnostics of laser induced plasmas.
