MECATRONICS 2012 - The 9th France-Japan Congress & the 7th Europe-Asia Congress

Experts from many different countries will come together to exchange their knowledge and experience with colleagues. This event will be the basis for new networks and cooperations in R&D and in educating Mechatronics Engineers. We hope to give you an opportunity for further cooperations e.g. in students and in university teachers exchanges.
Furthermore we include keynote presentations by renowned researchers from universities and from industry.
The congress will be held at Supméca, Paris, France.
