Micro- and NanoManufacturing (MINAM) Community
Abstract
Since many years there are research activities in the field of micro and nanotechnology. Nowadays new product innovations are not imaginable withour micro and nanotechnology. A very important requirement for dissemination of these new technologies is the control of manufacturing. Micro and nano manufacturing is getting more and more important for innovative applications and has a strategic importance for Europe. A new Micro- and NanoManufacturing community (http://www.micronanomanufacturing.eu) is emerging at European level involving collaboration of manufacturers of micro- and/or nano-inside-products, equipment suppliers, research organisations and networks. These groups cooperate through the establishment of the Micro- and Nanomanufacturing (MINAM) platform for structuring a global position. Today the MINAM community comprises more than 400 members and coordinates technological and organisational questionings.
