It gives me a great pleasure to welcome you all at the International conference "Nanotechnology and nanomaterials" (NANO-2015) that is being held in Lviv (recognized in 2008 as the cultural capital of Ukraine). Its aim is to promote scientific contacts and discussions between researchers representing various fields.

Previous NANO Conferences, held in Ukraine in 2012-2014, were organized in the joint format with the International Summer Schools "Nanotechnologies and nanomaterials: from fundamental research to innovations". They allowed the participants, including young scientists, to familiarize with current research and application problems in this area and thus to promote further implementation of nanotechnologies into innovations which meet public needs. The events also gave the opportunity to young and early-career researchers to attend lectures of internationally recognized experts and round-table discussions on the emerging fields in nanosciences and nanotechnologies.

Our International Conferences and Summer Schools received a positive feedback from international experts and sparked interest in the media. This year above 650 registration forms have been received from scientists representing more than 20 countries. I would like to thank all participants of these events for their active participation. We also acknowledge the support of the NANO-2015 Conference obtained in the framework of the NAS of Ukraine Program "Fundamental issues of creation of new nanomaterials and nanotechnologies" for 2015-2019.

We have now a rather hot political situation in Ukraine and in other parts of the globe. The fruitful cooperation of scientists is highly important not only to science itself. It helps us to overcome political conflicts and misunderstandings and to find ways to our peaceful future.

I wish the participants of the Conference to successfully share and broaden their basic and application knowledge in nanoscience and nanotechnologies, to advance the networking and collaboration between academia and research players in this area and thus to create a good basis for further practical contributions.
