About the MicroNanoConference

MicroNanoConference

18 – 19 November 2025
TU Delft

Where industry meets science, where problems can find solutions, where employers meet future talent 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 work 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 18 November 2025.

The international MicroNanoConference 2025 brings together science and industry to show how micro-, nano- and quantum technology can solve societal challenges. The language at the MicroNanoConference is English.

NanoLabNL Userday

During the NanoLabNL Userday on Tuesday, 18 November, users of the NanoLabNL facilities and colleagues of the five NanoLabNL hubs will present their research, work and applications. This provides a unique opportunity for networking and knowledge exchange between NanoLabNL personnel, NanoLabNL users and lab equipment manufacturers. More information will follow soon.

Abstract submission

We invite you to submit an abstract for either an oral or poster at the iMNC25. The conference focuses on technical solutions for societal challenges using micro-, nano- and/or quantum technology. Please feel free to submit any contribution you feel will fit the program. The program will be announced soon. 

You will receive notification from us whether your abstract will be accepted and whether it will be an oral or a poster contribution.

Deadline for abstract submission: 19 May 2025

Good to know:

  • We also look forward to receiving abstracts from visitors of the NanoLabNL day, as this event will also be organized on 18 November
  • We would be pleased if you invite potentially interested community members in your network to submit an abstract
  • Our website will be regularly updated with additional details on the conference. Please make sure to check frequently for the latest information. Of course, you will receive an invitation when the registration opens.

We look forward to welcoming you in Delft in November 2025!

Program iMNC25

We are busy working on the program for iMNC25. Here, you can find already the relevant information:

We are happy to announce that our keynote speakers now all have been confirmed:

  • Jo van den Brand – NIKHEF, Maastricht University
  • Hugo Gelevert – QuantumDeltaNL
  • Carlijn Bouten – Eindhoven University of Technology
  • Robin Koldeweij – FononTech

The conference will cover four application areas, i.e. Health, Agrifood & Water, Security and Sustainability & Energy, with a strong focus on the key enabling technologies nanotechnology, microtechnology and quantum technology.

The theme of iMNC25 is Where Science and Industry meet Talent. Therefore, companies and students are encouraged to participate. With reduced conference fees for students and targeted promotion among student communities, we anticipate a strong presence of emerging talents. The master and bachelor students will thus have the unique opportunity to participate and present themselves to interested companies through a pitch.

Just like in the 2024 edition, NanoLabNL will organize its User Day on Tuesday November 18th as part of the iMNC. NanoLabNL maintains and develops the Dutch national infrastructure for nanotechnology. In this way, key networks in the Netherlands are linked together with all their benefits.

Come and join us within this unique conference!
