Event Description

Symposium: Micro/Nano Technology for Portable Power
This one-day symposium brought together academic and industrial participants with the investment community to explore the opportunities for applying micro/nanotechnology to the need for power sources in emerging mobile applications. The event will include presentations on the latest developments in academia and industry, as well as observations from the investment community. This event is open to industrial members of MEMS@MIT as well as our invited guests.

Poster Session Reception: MEMS @ MIT
This reception will introduce posters spanning the entire range of research in MEMS at MIT. It is an ideal opportunity to interact with the students and staff at MIT. The event is open to members of MEMS@MIT as well as our invited guests.

MEMS@MIT Industrial Advisors Board (IAB) Meeting
Representatives from each of the member companies of MEMS@MIT will be invited to learn about the newest programs being initiated at MIT. In addition, we will review the current status of the center, new funding and partnering opportunities, IP available for licensing, and planning for upcoming events. At this first inaugural meeting of the MEMS@MIT IAB, companies that are considering joining the center will be invited to participate in this event.
