Micro-/Nano-technology has recently received great, worldwide attention, and significant progress is now being made in research and development of the technology, because it promises profitable, wide-ranging applications including aerospace systems.

The reduction in mass, volume, and power consumption (without reducing or with increasing performance) of aerospace systems by micro-/nano-technology have a significant effect on the reduction in cost and delay of aerospace-based systems and services.

Activities take place in materials, in devices such as micro-electronics, -mechanics, -sensors, -optics, -lasers, -reactors, -robotics, and -thrusters. Activities also take place in integrated micro-systems such as micro-rovers and -satellites.

Micro-/Nano-technology presents an opportunity to build entirely new, bold aerospace architectures, being indispensable for future aerospace systems.

This one-day workshop is aimed to discuss the current status and vision of the future for the micro- and nano-engineering for aerospace systems, and to find a way of the collaboration with other fields of science and engineering. The workshop will consist of 9 invited talks and a few tens of poster presentations in the field of materials, electronic and MEMS devices, and microsystems.
