5th World Congress on Micro and Nano Manufacturing

19-22 September 2022

Jointly organised by the 4M Association, the International Institution for Micro Manufacturing (I2M2) and the International Forum on Micro Manufacturing (IFMM), the Congress hopes to bring together the worldwide community of micro- & nano-manufacturing experts.

The conference will be organized fully in-person. However, the organizing committee may decide to modify the format if the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic requires it. Changes, if any will be announced in due course.
