The concept of size-dependent material properties becomes dominant in the materials science community [1]. 
The aim of the workshop is to provide a scientific forum for debate and exchange of ideas among European scientists, MISSION participants and scientists from the Balkan region. 
The sessions on the specific topics will start with presentations of key lectures followed by specific case studies and discussions. Workshop duration of three days is planned. During this time, a book of abstracts will be available for all participants.
