On March 18th, 2008, the Microsystems Chair was officially inaugurated.
For this occasion, the Chair joined its efforts with NanoWal (Wallonia Network for Nanotechnologies) to create an unique conference day entitled "MEMS and Nanotechnology through Science and Applications". We were pleased to host 6 international experts in the field of micro- and nano-technologies, more than 120 registered participants and about 20 posters and demonstrations.
