“It was our ambition to bring together academics and industries from all over the world for an excellent scientific event,” says the organizer, Robert Tomkowski  from the Manufacturing and Metrology Systems unit at IPU.

The focus of his year’s conference was on micromagnetic sensors and their development from design to applications. Partners during the event were Lundin Stress Service AB  (Sweden), Stresstech Oy , and Meetx .
