CEMMNT training

MEMS Training

This two day event, co-hosted by CEMMNT and Coventor, will explore the challenges and benefits of MEMS+IC simulation and offer an in-depth insight into Coventor's new MEMS+ design software. The first day on the event will focus on a series of presentations and discussions from leading experts in the field, with the second day offering a free-of-charge hands-on workshop focusing on the new MEMS+ platform.

Register for the 2-day MEMS seminar and training

Please select below which day/days you would like to register for. Please note, both days of the event are FREE-of-charge. *
