Welcome to Transducers 2019 and EUROSENSORS XXXIII
Welcome to Berlin, Germany!

Every six years, when Transducers is held in Europe, it is organized jointly with EUROSENSORS. Together this event forms the world's premiere conference in Microsensors & Microactuators, integrated micro and nano systems and MEMS/NEMS attracting more than 1,000 attendees from academia, research institutions, government agencies and industries to exchange the latest advances in the field.

On behalf of the entire organizing team and the co-sponsoring institutions, we wholeheartedly welcome you to attend this four and a half day event that is showcasing major technological, scientific and commercial breakthroughs in mechanical, optical, chemical and biological devices and systems using micro and nanotechnology.

The major areas of activity in the development of Sensor, Actuators and Transducers solicited and expected at this conference include but are not limited to:

• Mechanical/Physical Sensors and Microsystems
• Materials, Fabrication, and Packaging Technologies
• Nanoscale Devices and Nanomaterials
• Transducers with Soft, Flexible or Composite Materials
• Chemical and Environmental Sensors and Microsystems
• Bio-Sensors and Bio-Microsystems
• Medical Microsystems
• Microfluidics (non-bio)
• Energy and Power MEMS
• Acoustic Microdevices and RF MEMS
• Integrated Photonics and Optical MEMS

The conference will begin on Sunday, 23 June 2019 with short courses providing a scholar introduction and overview of some selected topics of interest to academics and professionals to get up to date with the latest trends in the field. The topics of the short courses will be announced, shortly. Sunday 23 will also open the conference registration and will have a Welcome Reception for attendees to meet and greet. The conference technical program will begin Monday 24 June morning with plenary sessions and then breakout into parallel sessions, as well as industry sessions and poster session throughout the duration of the conference. The Exhibition portion will take place Monday through Thursday 27 June 2019, giving opportunities for companies, start-ups and scientific associations to demonstrate their latest products and services. We will design the program such that there are plenty of occasions for networking. Social events are being designed for family participation in Berlin and surrounding areas. The Berlin weather in June is typically warm and pleasant, with long enjoyable hours of daylight.

We look forward to seeing you in Berlin, Germany!
