Smart Systems Integration 2016 conference programme

“The 10th Smart Systems Integration Conference addresses applications as well as aspects of basic research, and will show a snapshot of the international work in the field of smart systems integration. The event focuses on the hardware for the Internet of Things and the increasing electronic application on flexible substrates”, summarises committee chair Prof. Dr. Thomas Gessner, Fraunhofer ENAS, Chemnitz, this year's conference focus.

In five keynotes, 50 lectures, two special sessions by EPoSS, a panel discussion on 'Printing of Smart Systems' and two poster sessions with more than 30 posters, the latest research results and developments will be presented user-oriented and industry required to the following key topics:

• System integration and packaging
• Test and reliability
• Smart medtech systems
• Hardware for the Internet of Things
• Printed / stretchable and flexible electronics

Participants of both EPoSS sessions have the chance to get comprehensive and detailed information about the topics 'Strategies and opportunities for smart systems research in Horizon2020' as well as 'Smart Systems Integration in the JTI ECSEL'.

The conference is accompanied by an exhibition where e.g. R&D institutes, manufactures of components and systems in the sectors microsystems and nanotechnology, microelectronics, sensor technology and wireless communication present their products and solutions.

For the first time, visitors and participantscan look forward to a free career coaching, an application check and a job board in the context of the exhibition. This career tool offers the opportunity to inform themselves about current job offers of the exhibiting and cooperating companies and research institutions and to contact the potential employers directly on-site.

An attractive social program will complete the event. The pre-field trip on 8^th March 2016 is going to the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Microsystems and Solid State Technologies EMFT in Munich.

Participants expect a guided tour to the institute with selected stations and demonstrators and exhibits, short presentations and networking.

The traditional conference dinner on 9^th March 2016 is taking place in the restaurant 181 on top of the Olympic Tower in the Olympia Park Munich. For the second time the conference Smart Systems Integration with its acompanning exhibition takes place in Germany. After having taken place in Dresden 2011, Munich is this year’s venue from 9 - 10^th March 2016.
