10th International Conference on the Commercialization of Micro and Nano Systems
COMS 2005

Dear Micro-Nano Community Members,

Enschede, The Netherlands - March 17, 2005 - C2V is proud to announce that it supports organizing the 10th International Conference on the Commercialization of Micro and Nano Systems: COMS 2005, which takes place from August 21 to 25 in Baden-Baden, Germany.

Key Dates:

Abstract Submission Deadline: 20 March 2005
Author Notification: 06 May 2005
Manuscript Deadline: 08 July 2005

To have your abstract considered for presentation at COMS 2005, please email your abstract to coms@mikro.fzk.de

The 10th annual International Commercialization of Micro and Nano Systems conference, COMS 2005, will bring together key people from across the world and from every sector of industry, including leading practitioners in the field, equipment suppliers, end users, customers, government representatives, academics, and financial experts.

The Conference extends to 4 days and is structured to accommodate the wide-ranging needs of delegates. It is comprised of keynote talks by MNT leaders; break-out sessions fostering intimate in-depth discussion, extensive networking opportunities, and educational workshops. All of this is supported with an extensive exhibition that features the top companies in Micro/Nano. COMS is the ideal environment for the exchange of ideas and new business development.

COMS 2005 will be jointly organized by the Micro and Nanotechnology Commercialization Education Foundation (MANCEF) and Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK). COMS was first created in 1994 at BANFF, Canada as a Gordon style workshop, and has since developed into full-scale conferences alternating between North America and Europe (even expanding into Asia/Pacific in 2007, with our first appearance in Melbourne, Australia), while still maintaining the intimate atmosphere that fosters a true exchange of ideas and business development. Their increasing popularity and business networking potential in terms of delegate numbers has been impressive.

Scope of Conference Topics:

COMS 2005 addresses recent advances in micro/nanotechnology commercialization and their impact on commercial markets. Topics include, but are not restricted to:

Industry and Business overviews
