8ème Atelier international sur les Transducteurs ultrasonores micro usinés MUT 2009

En collaboration avec la société Imasonic et l’institut Pierre Vernier, FEMTO-ST organise les 28 et 29 mai prochain à Besançon la 8ème édition du Workshop international « Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers ».

Initié à Rome en 2001, L’atelier MUT a eu lieu depuis lors, presque chaque année, dans différentes villes d’Europe : Besançon (2002), Lausanne (2003), Florence (2004), Munich (2006), Antalya (2007), Trondheim (2008). Il rassemble des chercheurs et des ingénieurs du monde entier, qui viennent échanger des connaissances, des idées, des résultats et des perspectives sur ce nouveau et intéressant domaine d’application.

Cet évènement doit ainsi accueillir à Besançon environ 70 chercheurs et professionnels français et étrangers. Il se déroulera sous forme de conférences et tables rondes pendant deux jours dans les locaux de la CCI du Doubs.
