Network of excellence in multifunctional Microsystems

Objective

- Provision of an industrial forum and appropriate infrastructure to facilitate the interdisciplinary cooperation that is needed to design and manufacture products using microsystem technology.

- Systematic identification of specific application opportunities by organisation of industrially driven user clubs in all important fields of applications.

- Elaboration of long-term perspectives for R&D and providing inputs to the growing number of private and public initiatives.

- Establishment of a common European MST representation at European and international forums, and in international events including the initial world-wide discussions on standardisation. - Establishment of a world wide web based MST information network and monitoring of progress in MST on a world-wide scale.

- Organisation of publicity and awareness activities in the field of MST.

- Organisation of task forces to address specific MST related issues such as, production equipment for MST.

The network of excellence NEXUS provides an industrial and academic forum to accelerate the dissemination of information using microsystem technology (MST) in industry in order to secure the European position during the industrialisation phase of MST. The organisation consists of an industrially led board, an academic working group and four user clubs headed by industrial chairpersons. FHG ISiT provides a general coordination and runs the NEXUS office.
