Anniversary Symposium
"Microsystems for a Smart and Sustainable Future"
Celebrating 35 Years ZfM – Center for Micro and Nano Technologies
For three decades, the Center for Micro and Nano Technologies (ZfM) at Chemnitz University of Technology has served as a research beacon, bridging the gap between academic excellence and industry in Silicon Saxony. As a leading research center, we develop the micro- and nanosystems of tomorrow – with a focus on miniaturization, performance, and resource efficiency.
On the occasion of our anniversary, we showcase how excellent research and teaching shape the practice of today and tomorrow. Join us as we celebrate together, discover highlights from microelectronics, experience virtual cleanroom tours, and network to set further milestones for sustainable technology innovations.
