International MicroNanoConference
30 – 31 October 2023
Kinepolis Jaarbeurs Utrecht
Where industry meets science, where problems can find solutions and where trends, challenges and new technologies are highlighted.
We aim for a scientific symposium of high value and a good atmosphere where science and industry can meet and have a good discussion. Therefore, following the format of previous iMNCs, we have worked on an exciting two-day program with (keynote) speakers from universities, research institutes and industry, break-out sessions on societal challenges and themes, and an evening program on 30 October.
We are happy to announce that the following keynote speakers will be coming to speak:
- Monika Hoekstra (Program director NXTGEN HighTech)
- Pieter de Witte (QuantumDelta NL)
- Sander den Hoedt (Delmic)
- Marc Hendrikse (Holland High Tech)
- Mijndert van der Spek (Heriot-Watt University)
There will, of course, also be theme sessions with various speakers. You can find the complete programme on this page. Please note we are still working on the final sessions. So there are still several speakers, titles and session chairs to follow.
The international MicroNanoConference 2023 brings together science and industry to show how micro-, nano-, and quantumtechnology can help to tackle social issues in the society. The language at the MicroNanoConference is English.
