Background
MNE is a major annual international conference, devoted to micro and nano engineering, held in a European country every September. The conference brings together engineers and scientists from across the world to discuss recent progress and future trends in the fabrication, manufacturing, operation and application of micro and nano-structures and devices. Applications in electronics, magnetics, photonics, electromechanics, environment and life sciences are also discussed. MNE 2026 will be the 52nd conference in a series that was started in Cambridge in 1975 and which was held most recently in Turin (2021), Leuven (2022), Berlin (2023), Montpellier (2024) and Southampton (2025). In September 2026, MNE will take place in Interlaken, Switzerland – an idyllic lakeside town nestled between the lakes of Thun and Brienz and framed by the majestic snow-capped peaks of the infamous Bernese Alps. It is estimated that the conference will attract 600-700 participants.
Conference Structure and Highlights
The conference will start with a welcome reception, held on Monday, September 21, 2026 in the evening. The technical sessions will be held from Tuesday September 22 through to Thursday September 24. The programme combines plenary and parallel oral sessions featuring invited presentations by a number of internationally recognised experts and will also include both contributed oral and poster presentations. Accepted abstracts will be assigned to oral or poster presentations, based on recommendations from the International Programme Committee. In addition there will be a technical exhibition where exhibitors can display commercial tools, materials and software of direct interest to the community. Short courses (tutorials) are also planned for Monday, September 21.
