Smart Systems Integration 2010
23-24 Mar 2010
Como, Italy
Smart Systems Integration is an international platform for research institutes and manufacturer to exchange know-how on smart systems integration and to create the basis for successful research co operations with focus on Europe.
The event is part of the activities of EPoSS, the European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration.
Smart Systems Integration enables you to form a system out of components that can: gain information from the environment; process it electronically; communicate signals and data; and give enabled feedback signal to the ambience.
The whole system is subject to the trends of todays world: miniaturisation; networking capability; energy-autonomy; and reliability.
Due to increasing complexity and multidisciplinarity developing teams in fields of microsystems and nanotechnology, optics, fluidics, biology, medical science, electronics and wireless communication technologies face highest demands.
The call for papers runs until 20 October 2009.

Piezo MEMS design, fabrication and characterisation
25pm, 13 June 2010
Trondheim, Norway
The Piezo Institute is organising an industrial training course on piezoelectric micro electromechanical systems (piezo MEMS) in concurrence with the Electroceramics XII conference.
Piezo MEMS have applications across a range of sectors including security, health, and the environment. Fully realising the benefits requires a sound understanding of the challenges and solutions to design, manufacture and testing of these devices. This course will provide you with an insight in solutions from some of Europe's top researchers.
Markys Cain (NPL, UK), Robert Dorey (Cranfield University, UK) and a representative from Sintef Materials and Chemistry(Norway), all leaders in the field, will discuss:
Introduction to piezo MEMS design
Fabrication processing & tools
Characterisation methods & metrology
Applications & future research
This training course is at an intermediate to advanced level, suitable for late term PhDs and PDRAs.
The course is located at the same venue as Electroceramics XII, and finishes in time for delegates to attend the Electroceramics XII welcome reception.
Costs
140 per person
Delegates are responsible for arranging and paying their transport and accommodation

Electroceramics XII
14-17 Jun 2010
Trondheim, Norway
*UPDATE* The Piezo Institute has confirmed that it will organise an industrial training course on Piezo MEMS at the conference
Over the last two decades electroceramics have become established as one of the most important research areas in materials science both through improvements in basic knowledge and their significant technological impact.
The series of Electroceramics meetings are an important forum to discuss recent advances and emerging trends in this developing field.
Confirmed speakers include Piezo Institute partners Prof Dragan Damjanovic (EPFL, Switzerland) and Prof Barbara Malič (Joef Stefan Institute, Slovenia).
Participants will present recent findings and exchange ideas on R&D of electroceramics in the following areas:
Ceramic processing and basic science
Thin films and interfaces
Modelling
Dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric materials
Multiferroic, magnetic, semiconducting and superconducting materials
Ionic, electronic and mixed conductors, fuel cells, photocatalysis
Sensors, actuators and energy harvesting materials
Varistors and thermistors
Deadline for submission of abstracts has passed.
