We welcome you to the MNE 2019. It will be the 45^th Conference in a series that started in Cambridge in 1975, and was held most recently in Vienna (2016), Braga (2017) and Copenhagen (2018). Micro and Nano Engineering (MNE) is the core international conference focusing on: A) micro/ nanofabrication and manufacturing techniques, and B) application of the fabricated micro/nanostructures, devices and microsystems into electronics, photonics, energy, environment, chemistry and life sciences.

In 2019 edition, MNE will return to Greece on Rhodes island, after 11 years.

The 3-day conference format includes 4 parallel sessions, plenary talks, invited presentations, oral and poster presentations (evaluated by the International Program Committee), and a commercial exhibition.

MNE poster papers have equal weight to oral presentations. The MNE Committees encourage authors to submit papers (regular, accelerated publications, reviews or news and opinions) to 4 open thematically focused issues of Microelectronic Engineering (MEE by Elsevier) related to the conference topics.

MEE also sponsors the annual Young Investigator Award, which will be presented at the conference. MNE has two related conferences (EIPBN) in the USA, and (MNC) in Japan. It is a tradition that the author of the “Best Paper” of at least one of these related conferences is giving an invited talk at MNE.
