2010 Concertation and Consultation Workshop (4th)

Micro-Nano-Bio Convergence Systems (MNBS)

Neuchâtel (Switzerland), February 15-16, 2010

Following the previous annual workshops of the cluster of EC-funded projects on Micro-Nano-Bio Convergence Systems (MNBS), you are cordially invited to attend the 4th MNBS Concertation and Consultation Workshop, which will be co-organized by the European Commission and CSEM, the applied research center for micro- and nanotechnologies, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

For the first time, this event will be open to external participants of the MNBS cluster:

  • to encourage the diffusion and exchange of information on the development of science and technology in their area
  • to identify synergies and possible collaborations
  • to recognize the future challenges and topics for R&D.

The MNBS workshop will combine FP6 and FP7 running projects and invited presentations on relevant topics.

Micro-Nano-Bio Convergence Systems is a major domain within the field of Microsystems & Smart Systems Integration, which is being supported by the European Commission under the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) priority. The EU-funded projects in this domain focus on advanced systems by developing and integrating converging micro-nano-bio and information & communication technologies.

The group currently includes MNBS for "in-vitro" testing and for in vivo interactions with the human body. In this context, invited lectures on selected topics will be presented and round table discussions will be animated. Furthermore, attendees will have the opportunity to meet and visit research labs and industrial partners in Neuchâtel. These visits will be included in the program (registration will be required).

For information about the venue, electronic submission of abstracts, registration and general workshop information, or practical information, please visit the following websites.
