VCM 2012


The 2012 Villa Conference on Metamaterials (VCM 2012) will take place from April 16th to 20th, 2012 at Doubletree by Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld.

The villa conference series will continue its success of  the 2008 in Orlando Florida, 2009 in St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands, 2010 in Santorini Greece, and 2011 in Las Vegas Nevada by providing an interdisciplinary forum for the open communication in understanding the physical, chemical, and biological interactions among nanoscale components and bridging complex oxide materials research and applications with emphasis on emergent phenomena in thin film, interface, surface, superlattice, nanostructures and heterostructures.

VCM is a new development in the series from the last year, in response to growing interests in metamaterials research among participants of the villa conference series.

The Doubletree by Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld is spread across 28 acres of rich tropical landscape in the heart of Orlando, minutes from the destination's most popular attractions. The second to none friendly and stimulating atmosphere will unite international scientists with common professional interests to share both their knowledge of recent developments as well as their ideas about prospective directions and approaches on metamaterials research.
