About the conference

The upcoming conference will feature comprehensive tracks covering a wide spectrum of Micro/Nano Engineering domains, ensuring a holistic exploration of the field’s advancements. After Rhodes (2019), Turin (2021), Leuven (2022), Berlin (2023), and Montpellier (2024), the International Conference on Micro – and Nano Engineering (MNE) series will take place in Southampton in September 2025. This will be the 51st edition of the conference series, which began in Cambridge in 1975.
