Over the last decades Nanotechnology has promised to advance scienceand technology in many areas. Within medicine, nanomedicine promises to delivernew methods for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. As the amount of availableinformation is rapidly growing, new Biomedical Informatics approaches have to bedeveloped to satisfy the increasing demand on data and knowledge management.In 2007, a new subdiscipline, already named “Nanoinformatics”, has been createdwith support from the US National Science Foundation. In Europe, a projectnamed ACTION Grid has been launched with support from the EuropeanCommission to analyze challenges and agenda for developing Nanoinformatics asa discipline related to Nanotechnology, Bio-medicine and Informatics. For MIE2009, members of this consortium proposed a Workshop to discuss the scientificand strategic issues associated to this topic. Nanoinformatics aims to create abridge between nanomedicine and information technology applying computationalmethods to manage the information created in the nanomedical domain.
