EMN04, Main

*General Information* *First Annoucement*
Updated on August 10, 2004.

A satellite event of EMN04:
MIMOSA Workshop 19 October 2004

Aim of Workshop

While advances in micro and nanoscale science have been going on for more than two decades and have led to exciting discoveries and inventions, we are now at the cross-roads where one could envision to built systems based on micro and nanoscale technologies.

ASME (French Section) and ASME Nanotechnology Institute, in association with TIMA and ESIEE and with the sponsorship of several French Societies and Institutions thought that a meeting would help Europe to tackle the challenge to design, synthesize and integrate micro and nanostructures to develop functional systems. The idea of the European Micro and Nano Systems 2004 (EMN04) was born. The aim of EMN04 is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of scientists, engineers and users to discuss issues related to research, fabrication and commercialization of independent or combined micro and nanosystems.

We look forward to welcoming you at EMN04.

B. COURTOIS
TIMA Laboratory
Chair, EMN04 Scientific Committee.

The programme includes 5 invited talks, 46 oral presentations and 31 poster presentations. Oral contributions consist of 15 mn presentations followed by 5 min. discussion. The posters will be presented in one session Wednesday 20 October, 18:30-19:30. They will be mounted during the lunch time. Authors are expected to be at their posters during the posters viewing session. The posters will be removed by the end of the EMN04.
EMN04 received a total of 100 submissions.

Contribution to NANOPOLIS

NANOPOLIS is a portal including thousands of screens of nanotechnology content for the benefit of research, education and industry. Multimedia presentations of selected contributions to EMN04 will be included in Nanopolis.
