Facilitating access to high end MNT Micro and NanoManufacture Networking Workshop Industrial Technologies 19 June 2012 Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Susan Anso n

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology| Susan Anson: Industrial Technologies: Aarhus June 2012 Discussion questions Are MNT‘s still relevant? How can emerging technologies be brought out of the Lab and into application? How can these technologies be encouraged to „emerge“ and develop so that they are relevant to the needs of Europe‘s end users? 2
