Welcome

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to CMEMS 2022 hosted by the National Centre for Nano Fabrication and Characterization (DTU Nanolab) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) from July 6-8, 2022. DTU is located in close vicinity of the city of Copenhagen, which during this time of the year enjoys long summer days and a relaxing atmosphere. 
DTU Nanolab

We are honored to host this workshop as the 8th edition in a series of CMEMS conferences initiated in 2014 by Prof. Marc Madou at UC Irvine, and continued in San Diego (2016,2018), Hyderabad (2018), Monterrey (2019) and two time as online event during the pandemic. CMEMS is the core international event bringing together a consortium of international researchers focusing on advances in carbon micro- and nanofabrication and novel applications in physics, chemistry and life science. In July 2022, CMEMS will for the first time visit Europe.

We will have leading CMEMS researchers from around the world (USA, Mexico, Germany, India, China, etc) delivering updates on their research programs. Furthermore, we encourage researchers interested in establishing collaborations with the CMEMS community to participate in the workshop.

We hope that you will join us for two exciting days with science, innovation and social interaction with a small but growing community of carbon MEMS researchers. Your participation and expertise are most welcome and highly appreciated.

The topics of CMEMS2022 are:

  • New materials: Novel carbon precursors, pyrolytic carbon, graphene, diamond, Q-carbon, nanomaterials
  • Advances in processing: Additive manufacturing, casting, lithography
  • Physical and Chemical Applications: Nanomechanical sensing, energy storage, energy harvesting, electrochemical sensing
  • Life science and Health Tech Applications: In vivo and ex vivo biosensing, bioelectrochemistry, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, point-of-care diagnostics 

CMEMS2022 organizing committee:

Prof. Stephan Sylvest Keller, DTU Nanolab, conference chair
Prof. Jenny Emnéus, DTU Bioengineering, conference co-chair
Dr. Dario Mager, Karslruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), conference co-chair
Dr. Monsur Islam, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), conference co-chair

Call for abstracts

We invite all those interested in participating in CMEMS2022 to submit a scientific abstract for oral or poster presentation. 

Submission deadline extended to 1 May 2022

Guidelines for abstract preparation: Please prepare your abstract using the word abstract template. The abstracts should include title, authors, affiliations, text, references and figures. The length of the abstract should not exceed the one of the template, with 1 page (left side) of text and 1 page (right side) of figures.  

The abstract has to be submitted as a pdf-file to cmems2022@dtu.dk. In your email, please indicate:

  • Preferred format of presentation – oral or poster
  • If relevant, application for a travel award including a short motivation (2-3 sentences)
  • If relevant, expression of interest in pre-conference workshop participation

Authors will be informed at latest on 30 April 2022 about acceptance of the abstract, the format of the presentation (oral/poster) and an eventual travel award

 

Travel awards

We are able to offer 10 travel awards kindly funded by Otto Mønsted Foundation financially supporting  conference participation for PhD students and postdocs affiliated with non-European research institutions. Our aim with these travel awards is to enable that researchers from as many countries and institutions as possible are able to join the event. These travel awards amount to 5.000 DKK and a waiver of the registration fee,  and will be given based on the quality of the scientific work presented in the abstract and the affiliation of the presenting author.

Registration

The registration fees for CMEMS2022 is 1000 DKK for all participants. The deadline for registration is June 1. 2022. Please register through https://conferencemanager.dk/cmems2022

The registration fee includes participation in the conference with oral and poster sessions, coffee breaks, lunch and the conference excursion including dinner on July 7

If you need an invitation letter for visa applications, please contact us on cmems2022@dtu.dk.

 

Conference program

The conference will last for two and a half days and include oral presentations, invited talks and a poster session

Cmems 2022 Program
In the afternoon of July 7, there will be an excursion to Hven, the Swedish island where the Danish astronomist Tycho Brahe had his observatory. The excursion will be followed by a tapas dinner on “M/S Bjørnholm” sailing us all back to central Copenhagen.
Tycho Brahe

In the afternoon on July 8, a tour to the microscopy and fabrication facilities of DTU Nanolab will be organized for interested conference participants. 

Experimental pre-conference workshop

We would like to offer a pre-conference workshop to give an insight into some of our experimental work on carbon micro- and nanofabrication and the applications pursued at DTU Nanolab. It will take place on July 4-5 2022 and include hands-on sessions on photolithography, additive manufacturing, pyrolysis, electrochemistry and material characterization. Please inform us during abstract submission if you would like to join the experimental workshop.

 

Proceedings:

Directly linked to the conference a special issue in the journal Micro and Nano Engineering (MNE) (Elsevier) is planned. MNE is a journal with particular focus on new processes, materials and applications in micro- and nanofabrication

Conference venue:

The conference will be held on DTU Lyngby Campus at DTU Skylab. A map of the DTU Lyngby campus can be found here. 

Accommodation

July is tourist season in Denmark and early hotel booking is recommended. For accommodation, we can recommend the Zleep Hotel Lyngby in close proximity to DTU (https://www.zleep.com/en/hotel/lyngby/). DTU has special rates for this hotel amounting to approximately 620 DKK. If you want to book a room, please contact us to get the DTU discount code.

Another option of a nearby hotel is the Scandic Eremitage in Lyngby. Rooms are available at rates of around 1100 DKK.
