Welcome to Interlaken, Switzerland !
Nestled between the lakes of Thun and Brienz and framed by the snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Alps, Interlaken is one of Switzerland’s most scenic and accessible destinations. The Kursaal Congress Centre, located in the heart of town, offers state-of-the-art facilities within walking distance of hotels, restaurants, and transport links — including direct rail connections to major Swiss cities and international airports. Its central European location makes it a natural meeting point for participants from across the continent.
Beyond its breathtaking surroundings, Interlaken symbolizes the Swiss blend of precision, innovation, and hospitality — values that mirror the spirit of the micro and nanotechnology community. Switzerland is home to one of the highest densities of expertise in the world in this field, with world-class universities, research institutes, and industrial leaders driving advances in materials, photonics, and advanced manufacturing. Hosting the conference in Interlaken offers not only a stunning backdrop but also a direct connection to the vibrant ecosystem that defines Switzerland as a hub of micro- and nano-excellence.
