Meetings and Workshops
Since 1995, ESA has organized several roundtables on Micro/Nano Technologies for Space applications. They aim at encouraging and triggering effective cooperation between industries and universities/research centres, and to facilitate technology transfer.
- ESA MNT 4 Round table 4 on micro/nano technologies for space
- ESA MNT 5 Round table 5 on micro/nano technologies for space
- ESA MNT 6 Round table 6 on micro/nano technologies for space
- ESA MNT 7 Round table 7 on MICRO/NANO technologies for space
- ESA MNT 8 Round table 8 on MICRO/NANO technologies for space
