Journées GDR MNS 2009

Du 18 au 20 novembre, le Département Micro Nano Sciences et Systèmes (MN2S) de l’Institut FEMTO-ST a organisé à Besançon les Journées Nationales du GdR « Micro et Nano Systèmes (MNS) ». Avec le soutien du CNRS, ce GdR contribue fortement à l’animation scientifique de la communauté française dans le domaine des Micro et Nano Systèmes (MNS) grâce à des échanges d’informations et des discussions sur les dernières avancées. Les thématiques du GdR portent sur la Micro- & Nano-Fabrication, la Conception, le Test et la Caractérisation des Micro et Nano Systèmes ainsi que sur leurs applications dans les domaines de la Chimie, de la Biologie, et de l’Environnement dit intelligent.

Ces journées à Besançon ont enregistré un record en nombre de participants avec 120 personnes dont 67 chercheurs et enseignants-chercheurs, 4 post-docs, 42 doctorants et 7 personnes d’autres horizons (comme le LETI, le CNES) en provenance de toute la France. 18 personnes (dont 3 invitées) ont exposé leurs travaux de recherche par des présentations orales et 29 par des posters. 2 exposants industriels ont également présenté leurs équipements. Les journées se sont terminées par une visite de l’Institut FEMTO-ST et de son environnement scientifique et technique.
