PATENT-DfMM participation in CANEUS
27 Aug - 1 Sep 06, Toulouse, France

Micro- and nanotechnologies will deeply impact the aerospace industry worldwide in the next decades. The Conference on Aerospace Applications (CANEUS) 2006 was a unique opportunity to meet top level international representatives of science and industry to stimulate and accelerate the penetration of MNT into this key industrial sector.
PATENT-DfMM played an active role is assisting with the development of a future collaborative project concept aiming to provide reliability services to the European aerospace community. Members of PATENT-DfMM worked closely with representatives from CNES, EADS, ESA, NovaMEMS, Alcatel Alenia Space, Colibrys and Tronics to propose a route to funding and delivery of methods to better assess reliability issues and build higher reliability into MEMS based systems.
Recommendations to build on the reliability community and knowledge base created by PATENT-DfMM and bring together key PATENT-DfMM partners with groups addressing aerospace reliability issues associated with MNT technology.
