The NANO KOREA Symposium is an annual international event alongside the NANO KOREA Exhibition hosted by both the Korea Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy (MOCIE). The symposia seek to promote scientific cooperation among countries, organizations and individual researchers in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

The main program of the fifth symposium consists of seven sessions covering nanoelectronics, nanomaterials, nanotools and manufacturing, nanoanalysis and computational modeling, nanobiotechnology, nanophysics, and nanochemistry.
