Imec symposium
Prior to the PowerMEMS workshop, imec/Holst Centre will organize a symposium:
The Future of Energy Harvesting
which will take place on November 30th, at imec, Leuven. The symposium will address application-oriented research activities and industry requirements in the field of energy harvesting, focusing on future industrial needs and expectations. Meet top speakers from industry (a.o. Micropelt, Perpetuum, NXP, Yole), as well as academia (IMTEK, IMEC).
Registration
To attend this symposium, separate registration is required; PowerMEMS attendees can join the symposium at a reduced rate.
| Registration fee | |
|---|---|
| Regular Participant | € 125 |
| Participant also visiting PowerMEMS | € 75 |

How to reach IMEC
Detailed information on how to reach IMEC can be found here:
http://www2.imec.be/be_en/about-imec/offices/how-to-reach-imec-leuven.html
When going from IMEC to the Hallen (conference center), or the centre of the city, you can take bus line 2 to the last stop Campus Arenberg III (arrives opposite of the IMEC building, 8 times per hour). Alternatively, you take a walk of around 30 minutes (2.5 km)
Please note that due to construction in the city center, the buses might leave or arrive on a different time than indicated at the internet.
