First "Design for Micro & Nano Manufacture" Summer school

The summer school, based on the excellence of its 24 mostly academic partners, aims to address the underlying engineering science to ensure that problems affecting the manufacture and reliability of products based on micro & nano technologies (M&NT) can be addressed before prototype and pre-production. The project plans to integrate what are currently isolated and dispersed groups with valuable skills, create critical mass in the field of Design for Micro & Nano Manufacture in Europe and provide researchers with access to state-of-the-art equipment and technology. PATENT-DfMM will provide direct services to industry with an emphasis on small and medium-sized companies, in the form of a one-stop shop. An accompanying educational programme addressing DfMM topics in industry and academia is currently being developed.
