About the Conference
Conference outline
Asia-Pacific Conference of Transducers and Micro-Nano Technology 2016 (APCOT2016) will be held in Kanazawa, Japan from 26-29 June, 2016. The conference provides an interactive forum for presentation and discussion on transducers and micro/nano technology. Aside from researchers in the Asia Pacific region: Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan; the conference welcomes participants from other regions who are interested in developing professional ties to and/or exploring career opportunities in the region. The conference should serve as an ideal forum to establish relationships with the MEMS and sensor technology professional community in the Asia and Oceania.
Over 400 participants are expected to attend APCOT 2016 in Kanazawa where over 300 papers are to be presented in oral and poster sessions.
