Overview



CANADA-EUROPE-US-JAPAN WORKSHOP August 25 to 30, 2002 Hosted and organized by CLS3 (Centre for Large Space Structures and Systems) of Montreal, Canada Micro/ Nano Technology Development for Aerospace Applications: Strategies for Focused Worldwide Investment Overview The CANEUS workshop is a significant step in defining the future of micro and nano technology development. With over 100 of the world's leading authorities in aerospace, defense and industrial R&D as well as nanotechnology commercialization and investment, the workshop provides a truly unique opportunity for technology exchanges and networking. Speakers from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, UK, and the USA presented to 100 industry participants and 100 general attendees in the closed setting of the Canadian Space Agency. A series of outings, industrial tours and networking events rounded out the event.
