The visit to Fraunhofer EMFT will include a guided tour of the R&D facility.
MEMS & Sensors Industry Group and invited speakers will address the design, integration and supply-chain challenges and opportunities affecting the growth of MEMS and sensors over the next decade.
Karen Lightman, executive director of MIG.
Dirk Wisselmann, senior engineer for automated driving in BMW’s chassis and driver assistance development program is the opening keynote speaker and elsewhere in the program Rajashree Baskaran, senior technologist with Intel, will discuss technologies for MEMS and sensors in wearable equipment.
Next: Breakout sessions to address more urgent challenges
As well as the usual format of presentations and panel sessions the conference will this year include three breakout sessions set to address topics identified in the 2015 MSIG Membership Survey as the most critical issues facing the MEMS and sensors industry. These are: technology transfer; challenges common to MEMS and semiconductors; and emerging MEMS and sensor technologies.
Full details of the program can be found at MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress 2016.
"At MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress, we will address these challenges to enable the industry to maximize its success. For two days, conference attendees will learn from the experiences of others as they explore some of the most critical issues in our industry," said Karen Lightman, executive director of the MEMS & Sensors Industry Group, in a statement.
