Events

The Mid-Europe Chapter of the Society for Information Display (SID-MEC) invites you to its online conference in April 2025. Under the title "Holography in Displays" experts from the display industry and research institutions will discuss current developments and challenges. The event will take place online on April 14 2025, from 3 to 5 p.m. CEST and offers a platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas. The meeting will focus on holographic approaches in displays, highlighting topics such as materials science, backplane and frontplane technology, optics and system integration, manufacturing, and applications.

The Global Synthetic Biology Conference invites you to San Jose, May 5-8, 2025, to explore the power of synthetic biology in shaping a sustainable future. Engage with cutting-edge research, groundbreaking technologies, and a diverse program of sessions and exhibitions. We're showcasing our project BIOSYNTH, a modular high-throughput microplatform with thermal synthesis and optical monitoring for future mass data storage from synthetic biology. The platform may also be useful for applications in medicine, biotechnology, biology or agriculture, among others.

The world's leading forum for sensor, measuring and testing technology, the SENSOR+TEST 2025, invites you again this year to get to know a variety of research results and exhibitors. Our scientists will be available to answer your questions from May 6-8, 2025 at the Fraunhofer joint stand at the Nuremberg exhibition grounds. Stop by and find out more about our innovations in the field of analysis and sensor technology.

Discover the latest innovations in display technologies at the industry’s premier global event. Bring your readers insights from world-renowned technology leaders, trend-setting innovators, and the international community’s brightest minds. Plus, experience hands-on demos of new technologies, applications, and products.

The Silicon Saxony Day is one of the most important international high-tech and networking events in Europe. Together with Fraunhofer IZM-ASSID, we from Fraunhofer IPMS will be there for you. Come and talk to us about 300 mm microelectronics.

Experience science interactively, talk to researchers and expand your own knowledge - all this is possible again this year at the Long Night of Science. For the 22nd time, universities, non-university research institutions and science-related companies from Dresden are opening their doors and our researchers from Fraunhofer IPMS will also be there to give you exclusive insights into our research. Whether it's a lecture, an experiment or a game, there's something for young and old. Our varied program awaits you this year at the HTW Dresden from 17:00 to 00:00. We look forward to seeing everyone who wants to use this opportunity to expand their knowledge.

Are you interested in photonics? Then visit us at the leading international trade fair "LASER World of PHOTONICS" from June 24 to 27 in Munich. Get an exclusive insight into the fields of components, systems and applications of photonics. At our booth you will learn more about our wide product range. Also take the chance to meet our scientists in person and to get in direct contact with us!

IMID 2025 brings together leading experts, researchers, practitioners, and students worldwide, united to exchange knowledge, insights, and shape the future of display technologies.

SEMICON WEST is the world's number one trade fair for microelectronics. The trade fair, which takes place once a year in Phoenix, showcases the latest products and technologies in microelectronics and covers the entire supply chain. The exhibition is combined with technical presentations and networking events. Fraunhofer IPMS will be present at the Silicon Saxony joint booth to demonstrate the latest developments in process and material development on 300mm wafers. The comprehensive services of the Fraunhofer Screening Fab in the field of semiconductor manufacturing and development will be presented.

No other industrial sector can do without microelectronics and microsystems technology. The crises of recent years have shown that secure access to hardware in the required quality and quantity is necessary, from standard electronics to innovative approaches. New production capacities are being created in Germany and Europe and are also leading to new challenges in the area of recruiting skilled workers. Unfortunately, as studies by the VDE show, innovation tends to be associated with computer science, while electrical engineering is considered less innovative by students and teachers and is associated with “pulling strings”. This is where our commitment is needed to disprove this reservation with examples. We hope that the Microsystems Technology Congress can contribute to this and provide new impetus.
