International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory

INL is the result of a joint decision of the Governments of Portugal and Spain, taken on November 19, 2005, at the XXI Portugal–Spain Summit, in Évora.

In this summit it was decided that the institute would be located in Braga, Portugal and its first director would be a Spanish researcher (Professor José Rivas of the University of Santiago de Compostela, nominated on the occasion by the President of the Government of Spain) [1] INL provides a research environment promoting an interdisciplinary effort in addressing the major challenges in the emerging areas of Nanobiotechnology, Nanoelectronics, Nanomedicine and Materials Science at Nanoscale.

INL works with international research centres, local and global industry and universities.

This two days event brings together participants on all areas of knowledge with a focus on the impact of nanotechnology in today's world.

In the 2016 event, BeeHex introduced 3D food printing at INL's annual conference.
