Concept
Symposium overview
Micro-Nano Science & Technology Division in JSME (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers) promotes academic activities to pioneer novel research topics on microscopic mechanics. The division encourages interdisciplinary studies to deeply understand physical/chemical/biological phenomena in micro/nano scale and to develop applied technologies. Since 2009, past eleven symposiums on Micro-Nano Science & Technology have taken place successfully incorporating with the related societies of electronics and applied physics. We have promoted in-depth studies and interactions between researchers/engineers in various fields with more than 100 papers presented at each symposium for the past few years. Thanks to the previous activities and the great effort of the committee members, the Micro-Nano Science & Technology Division has been recognized as a formal division in JSME.
We are pleased to announce that the “The 12th Symposium on Micro-Nano Science and Technology” will be held from November 9 through November 11, 2021 on-line. Three cooperative symposium will be held in the same venue and at the same time. We invite original contributions as research papers and look forward to fruitful discussions.
Due to the current situation of COVID-19, The 12th Symposium on Micro-Nano Science and Technology and "Future Technologies" will be held on-line. Please note that the on-site events at Himeji have been cancelled. We will update the website as soon as the details of the conference will be fixed.
