International Workshop on PiezoMEMS

The international workshops on piezoelectric MEMS were initialized in 2010 in order to stimulate the exchange of experience, insights, and new ideas in the field of piezoelectric thin films and their applications among scientists and engineers. The goal was to build a bridge between academia and industry. The participation of researchers and engineers from industry is therefore strongly encouraged. The emergence of a number of very promising commercial products justifies this workshop series a posteriori. 
The workshop in 2019 will be the 7th one. The past ones were held in Aachen (Germany), Lausanne (Switzerland), Washington DC (USA), Kobe (Japan), Grenoble (France), and Orlando (USA). More information and links to previous workshops are found on http://www.piezomems2011.org/
