CLINAM is a nonprofit organization based in Basel, Switzerland (www.clinam.org), that has been founded by Beat Löffler and Patrick Hunziker in 2007. The organization, utilizing its worldwide network of stakeholders, hosts an annual European and Global Summit for Clinical Nanomedicine in the fields of nanomedicine, targeted drug delivery, precision medicine, and other related fields. These summits relate to the main elements of cutting-edge medicine and the inclusion of the implications of nanomedicine for patients and mankind. In 2009, CLINAM founded the International Society for Nanomedicine (ISNM) with the participation of scientists and national organizations from Japan, Korea, USA, Canada, Europe, South America, India, Australia, Africa, Australia, and India. ISNM is led by another member country every 2 years. Every 2 years, ISNM organizes a summer school, which brings together experienced researchers and students. Another important element of CLINAM is the European Society for Nanomedicine (www.esnam.org), which has more than 1000 members today.
