The MST field is currently in a transition phase where the industrial activities are increasing. Most notably is also the rapidly growing area of bio-related MEMS/MST where industry is pushing hard to accomplish new miniaturized approaches in medical engineering as well as improved biotechnology concepts e.g. in the drug discovery and development process. Material physics and technology is also driving the field further on to the nanotechnology field, searching new break-throughs in the control of matter down to single molecule/atom level.
In this perspective MSW is an effort to gather the Nordic forces within this area to stimulate and encourage interaction, collaboration and exchange of ideas.
