MEF 2021 Program Schedule

SMART Society Driven by MEMS

Wednesday, April 21 - Thursday, April 22, 2021 (JST)

Virtual Conference

Most of the speakers will join the symposium live and answer to the questions sent from the audience. The program committee of MEMS Engineer Forum 2021 worked on scheduling considering about the time zone in which the speakers belong to. The committee expresses their appreciation to some speakers who agreed to join the symposium late night.
