We are pleased to announce the International Conference on Integration and Commercialization of Micro and Nano-systems, which will be co-organized by the Nanotechnology Institute of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Micro/Nano Manufacturing Technology Institution of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society (CMES), and the Micro and Nanotechnology Commercialization and Education Foundation (MANCEF).

The conference will focus on the state-of-the-art research and development in micro- and nano-scale phenomena, devices, systems, manufacturing, and commercialization of micro- and nano-technologies. The conference will consist of plenary talks, invited talks, contributed oral and poster presentations, and exhibitions and will provide opportunities for communication and collaboration between industry and academia. Papers are solicited in, but not limited to the following areas:

• Fundamentals in micro- and nano-science and engineering, including energy transport, conversion, and storage; mechanics; heat transfer; fluidics, and optics.
• Synthesis and processing of nanomaterials and nanostructures
• Micro- and nano-manufacturing and multiscale manufacturing
• Metrology and characterization of nanomaterials and nanostructures
• Development of integrated micro, nano and multiscale devices and systems, micro- and nano-electro-mechanical systems (M/NEMS) for biomedical, sensing, energy conversion, RF and optical communication applications
• Commercialization of micro- and nano-technology and market analysis
• Best Practices in creating new businesses in micro- and nano-technologies
• Global overview of the micro- and nano-technologies
• Workforce, foundry, and other support areas for micro- and nano-technology start-ups
• Industry needs and resources for micro- and nano-technologies

Full papers will be published in conference proceedings with EI and SCI indexes.

Conference Language: English is the official language of the conference.
