Over the last decades Nanotechnology has promised to advance science and technology in many areas. Within medicine, Nanomedicine promises to deliver new methods for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. As the amount of available information is rapidly growing, new Biomedical Informatics approaches have to be developed to satisfy the increasing demand on data and knowledge management. In 2007, a new sub-discipline, already named "Nanoinformatics", was created with support from the US National Science Foundation. In Europe, a project named ACTION-Grid was launched in 2008 with support from the European Commission to analyze the challenges and agenda for developing Nanoinformatics as a discipline related to Nanotechnology, Biomedicine and Informatics. For MIE 2009, members of this consortium proposed a workshop to discuss the scientific and strategic issues associated with this topic. Nanoinformatics aims to create a bridge between Nanomedicine and Information Technology applying computational methods to manage the information created in the nanomedical domain.
在过去几十年里，纳米技术有望在许多领域推动科学技术发展。在医学领域，纳米医学有望提供新的诊断、预后和治疗方法。随着可用信息量的迅速增长，必须开发新的生物医学信息学方法来满足对数据和知识管理日益增长的需求。2007年，在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，一个新的子学科已被命名为“纳米信息学”。在欧洲，2008年在欧盟委员会的支持下启动了一个名为ACTION-Grid的项目，以分析将纳米信息学发展成为一门与纳米技术、生物医学和信息学相关学科的挑战和议程。对于2009年的医学信息学年会（MIE），该联盟的成员提议举办一次研讨会，以讨论与该主题相关的科学和战略问题。纳米信息学旨在通过应用计算方法来管理纳米医学领域中产生的信息，在纳米医学和信息技术之间架起一座桥梁。
