International MicroNanoConference iMNC

Where industry meets science, where problems can find solutions, where employers meet future talent and where trends, challenges and new technologies are highlighted.

The international MicroNanoConference (iMNC) brings together science and industry to showcase how micro-, nano- and quantumtechnology can help addressing our societal challenges. The conference will cover a wide range of application areas, with a strong focus on the key enabling technologies: micro- and nanotechnology as well as the rapidly evolving field of quantum technology.

This conference is organized by MinacNed, an association of European industries and knowledge institutes active in micro-, nano- and quantum technology together with NanoLabNL, the Netherland’s national facility with open-access infrastructure for nanotech research and nano-innovation, which is organizing its User Day as part of the iMNC. We work together on an exciting two-day program with (keynote) speakers from universities, research institutes and industry, break-out sessions on societal challenges and themes, and an evening program on Monday 2 November 2026.

With reduced conference fees for MSc students and targeted promotion among student communities, we anticipate a strong presence of emerging talents. The language at the MicroNanoConference is English.
