    Welcome to Dublin,Irelands capital city,steeped in history and youthful energy. Medieval, Georgian and modern architecture provide a magnifi cent backdrop to a safe and friendly bustling port,where the cos-mopolitan and charming converge in the delightful diversity that is Dublin.

    Trinity College Dublin is honoured to be your host for ICSM 2006.We extend a warm welcome to our Nobel Laureates,the Plenary, Keynote and Invited Speakers and all other participants and guests.

    The International Conference on Science and Technology of Synthetic Metals(ICSM) brings together leading scientists and engineers to discuss the latestadvances in Synthetic Metals (such as conducting polymers and carbonna-notubes). These materials are fi nding applications in areas as diverse as artifi cial muscles, electronic noses, plastic solar cells, corrosion inhibition, biosensors, electronic textiles and nerve cell communications. The ability to manipulate mat-ter on the nanometer scale (nanotechnology) presents the possibility of making materials more suitable for current engineering needs (eg: smaller, lighter) and to make new materials which open up new engineering and medical possibilities.Consequently, a synergy between synthetic metals, information technology, bio-technology and nanotechnology has emerged and is providing ground breaking and exciting scientifi c and industrial challenges.

    Plenary lectures from eminent international scientists will be among the high-lights of the scientifi c program.These will include talks from several Nobel Laure-ates in a special opening session.

    As part of ICSM 2006, we will run special events aiming to communicate directly with businesses about potential partnerships and collaborations that are an integral part of modern R & D and which make possible the commercialisation of cutting-edge technology.

    ICSM has previously been held in Siofok (1976), New York (1977), Du-brovnik(1978), Helsingor (1980), Boulder (1981), Les Arcs (1982), Abano Terme (1984), Kyoto (1986), Santa Fe (1988), Tubingen (1990), Goteborg (1992), Seoul(1994), Snowbird (1996), Montpellier (1998), Bad Gastein (2000), Shang-hai(2002) and Wollongong (2004).

    Ireland has many scenic, cultural and natural attractions, and is an excellent coun-try to visit. As tourism is a major Irish industry, tourists are well-catered for, with quality accommodation, attractions and activities throughout the country. The hospitality is legendary- why not extend your visit and explore our island?

    DISCOVER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING (DSE)Discover Science & Engineering (DSE) aims to increase interest in science, technology, innovation and en-gineering among students, teachers and members of the public. DSEs mission is to contribute to Irelands continued growth and development as a society that has an active and informed interest and involvement in science, engineering and technology.Its overall objectives are to increase the numbers of students studying the physical sciences, promote a posi-tive attitude to careers in science, engineering and technology and to foster a greater understanding of sci-ence and its value to Irish society. The DSE programme was developed in response to a key recommendation of the Task Force on the Physical Sciences. This called for a coordinated effort to increase interest in science and encourage young people to consider science as a viable career option. DSE brings together many science, engineering, technology and innovation awareness activities that were previously managed by different bodies, public and private. DSE aims to build and expand on these activities and to deliver a more focused, strategic and quantifi able awareness campaign.
