We cordially invite you to attend the first LIMMS/CNRS-IIS-UTC Workshop that will be held in Compiègne on April 12-13^th, 2018.

LIMMS (Laboratory of Integrated Micro Mechatronic Systems) is a joint laboratory between CNRS and the University of Tokyo, Japan (within the Institute of Industrial Science - IIS), with the special support from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Since its creation in 1995, the laboratory combines the expertise of French and Japanese scientists the field of Micro and Nanotechnologies and Bio-MEMS. In April 2004, the laboratory acquired the status of International Research Centre from both CNRS (UMI 2820) and IIS.

The University of Technology of Compiègne, UTC, is both a French national university and an engineering school, with autonomous training and pedagogy and an innovation-intensive, interdisciplinary technological research program. Eight research units (among them 5 joint with CNRS) form the core of UTC’s research potential. covering various scientific research areas : applied mathematics, bioengineering, computer sciences, mechanics, chemical engineering, social sciences, urban systems.

During this workshop, LIMMS, UTC and guest researchers witll present their advanced research programs and recent innovations to French and European colleagues and to the local eco system of agencies and industries. In parallel, we would like to show examples of existing collaborations between French and Japanese structures either at the academic level or at the industrial level.

Therefore, we offer you to attend high-level conferences on Integrative bioengineering and BioMEMS (day 1) and on smart sensors and energy harvesting (day 2).  Lab tours will be organized in the afternoons. In addition, time for scientific discussion will be arranged during poster sessions and round tables. The purpose will be to develop collaborative research programs with high potential impact on science and technology, innovation and to build new consortium between French-Japanese players.
