Sensor Technologies for Water Monitoring

Technologies for the fabrication of devices and systems at micro- and nano-scales continue to advance and diversify due to the rising demands for miniaturisation, cost reduction, functional integration and performance enhancement. This summer school will provide a broad overview of sensors, microfluidics and biosystems technologies as an enabling technology for new product development in environmental monitoring and water analysis. The Summer School organised by FBK, and University of Glasgow is a training action of the project AQUASENSE (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2018) targeted to strengthen collaboration, sharing new ideas and knowledge transfer from research to market in the field of biosensors for the water quality assessment. The objective of the workshop is to illustrate the technological orientations and future challenges offered by the connection between innovative materials and micro/nanotechnologies. The involvement of representatives of key research disciplines will offer a podium to enable community building and networking, the sharing of progress in both technology and application development, and the identification of common interests. The emphasis will be on the complete development process for microfluidics/biosystems devices, covering aspects of design, manufacturing technologies, materials for sensors and latest trends in the personalized medicine. Finally, application case examples and experimental lessons (hands-on-MEMS) on classic MEMS and Microfluidics devices and the related technologies will complete the summer school with a basic training for early stage researchers that do not have access to large fabrication facilities. The Summers School courses topics will be:

25 Sept. 2019 - Materials for Sensors" (5 Speakers)
26 Sept. 2019 - Sensors and Technologies (7 Speakers)
27 Sept. 2019 - Systems and Applications (7 Speakers)
