The Twenty Fifth International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences (µTAS 2021) will be held at the Palm Springs Convention Center, in Palm Springs, California, USA from October 10-14 2021.

µTAS 2021 continues a Conference series that is the premier forum for reporting research results in microfluidics, microfabrication, nanotechnology, integration, materials and surfaces, analysis and synthesis, and detection technologies for the life sciences and chemistry. The Conference offers plenary and invited talks, as well as contributed oral and poster presentations selected from submitted abstracts.

NGM plans to submit a contribution about our project to the 10. Zukunftskonferenz (https://zukunftskonferenz.joanneum.at) organized by JOANNEUM RESEARCH on 10th March 2021.

There will be a short oral presentation as well.

MNE is going to take place from 20 – 23 September 2021 in Turin, Italy!

MNE2021 will be the 47^th International Conference in a series that started in Cambridge in 1975, and was held most recently in Braga (2017),Copenhagen (2018) and Rhodes (2019).

The MNE2020 conference in Leuven had to be cancelled because of the COVID-19 outbreak, but we are now building a new fantastic edition in Torino which will represents for micro and nano engineers and scientists the best showcase for the technology advancement achieved over the last two years.

Micro and Nano Engineering (MNE) is the flagship event of the international Micro and Nano Engineering society (iMNEs) and the premium international conference on:

• micro/nanofabrication and manufacturing techniques
• application of micro/nanostructures, devices and microsystems into electronics, photonics, energy, environment, chemistry and life sciences.

2nd International Conference on Nanotechnologies and Bionanoscience (NanoBio 2021) taking place in Aquila Atlantis Hotel, at the heart of Heraklion City, Crete in 06-10 September 2021.

The 2nd International conference on Nanotechnologies and Bionanoscience (NanoBio 2021) – aims to capitalize on the rapid growing and interconnected fields of Nanotechnology and Bioscience, drawing in and providing an interdisciplinary forum for scientists and engineers from academia and industry. Among the main objectives is to discuss on the forefront of research and to address the theory, design and development of advanced materials and nanotechnologies in relation to the field of energy and health applications. The conference comprises six workshops focusing on the development of novel nanomaterials, bionanosystems for tissue engineering and healthcare, innovative solar cells, nanophotonics, nanomedicine, bioelectronics and lab-on-chip systems. NanoBio 2021 will include world leading Invited Speakers together with experts and stakeholders from academia and industry. Their talks  will be a platform for innovation from early-career researchers, young investigators and entrepreneurs. We envisage that the conference will provide an ideal environment to develop new collaborations and opportunities to meet the experts and stakeholders of the rapidly growing fields of Nanotechnology and Bionanoscience. Looking forward to meeting you in Heraklion. “

Meeting focus: Therapeutic, diagnostic, analytical and basic research applications of aptamers

Provisional meeting format: The meeting will run over two days. Each day will consist of invited presentations by senior scientists, and submitted short presentations by emerging researchers and students. There will also be an opportunity to present posters digitally, including flash-talks by poster presenters.

• Day 1: 14th April 2021, 1400h BST (to be coordinated by Dr Maureen McKeague, McGill University, Montreal, Canada)
• Day 2: 15th April 2021, 0800h BST (to be coordinated by Dr Sarah Shigdar, Deakin University,  Melbourne, Australia)

Invitation to submit an abstract: We invite emerging aptamer researchers and students to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations. We particularly encourage final year doctoral students and early/mid career postdoctoral researchers/junior group leaders to submit oral abstracts, as we believe this virtual event will provide their research an excellent exposure, critical analysis by attending senior researchers and new career opportunities.

SAVE THE DATE!

This conference will bring together leading researchers, from both academia and industry, to share their recent findings on a range of topics related to Bio- and Nano-Sensors, Bioelectronics, Chemical Sensors, Physical Sensors, Sensor Applications, and Smart Systems. It will focus on significant advances in the area of sensorics, enabling increased sensitivity, portability, and connectivity. Therefore, the target participants for the proposed conference are experts in the sensors community while, at the same time, the conference is expected to be mutually beneficial for young researchers and students.

We are eager to listen to the presentation about “Development of LATE PCR protocol for SARS-CoV-2 Detection” given by BFRAA at the 8th International Symposium on Sensor Science from 17 – 28 May 2021.

SAVE THE DATE!

We are eager to listen to the presentation about “Microfluidic devices and diagnostic chips from Roll-to-Roll production” given by Ms. Pelin Tören Özgün from JOANNEUM RESEARCH at LOPEC 21 from 23 – 25 March 2021.
