4M

The workshop will provide the opportunity to debate the scientific and technological development of new materials, micro and nanotechnologies for sensors and micro-optics, to initiate new RTD projects and to initiate new cooperations between industry and academics applications driven.
It will be also, a forums for the exchange and dissemination of information between universities, research centres and SMEs (from MS, NMS and ACC).

This meeting was originally going to encompass both the annual Governing Council of 4M and the Review by our EC officer. However, due to a very congested programme, the decision was made to use these dates only for the Review meeting. Following the Review a new date will be set for the Governing Council to meet.

The 4th Erlangen workshop on Microforming supported by 4M NoE will be held in Erlangen, Germany on 27-28 November 2007.

We invite you cordially to attend the 4th Erlangen Workshop on Microforming, which is the second on European level under the umbrella of the European network 4M. There, you will get the opportunity for information on latest developments and to get into contact with colleagues from practice and research.

Aim and Themes

The main goal of the Conference is to provide a forum for experts from industry and academia to share the results of their in-depth investigations and engage in interdisciplinary discussions about the creation of micro-manufacturing capabilities. Papers are invited to present the latest advances in developing new processes and process chains for multi-material micro manufacture and their applications in microsystems-based products
