MNE is a major annual international conference, devoted to micro and nano fabrication and manufacturing, 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, photonics, electromechanics, environment and life sciences are also discussed.

MNE 2013 will be the 39th conference in a series that was started in Cambridge in 1975 and which was held most recently in Athens (2008), Ghent (2009), Genoa (2010), Berlin (2011) and Toulouse (2012). In September 2013 MNE will return to the UK after 10 years. The organising committee are pleased to announce that the conference will be held at Imperial College London. Judging on previous years, it is estimated that the conference will attract 500-800 participants.
