13th International Conference on Precision, Meso, Micro and Nano Engineering (COPEN 13), December 13 - 15 , 2024 (Website: Click here)
International Conference on Precision, Meso, Micro and Nano Engineering (COPEN)
The Conference on Precision Engineering (COPEN) was spearheaded by IIT Madras in 2000 to bring the academicians, researchers and practicing engineers for sharing their experiences in the field of precision engineering. It has gained wide acclaim over the years and reached an international status in 2006. The thirteenth international conference is being organized by NIT Calicut during December, 2024. This is the second time that COPEN is being organised by NIT Calicut, the first instance being in 2013.
The objective of the conference is to provide a common platform for specialists working in precision, meso, micro and nano engineering industries and academic institutions as well as R&D organizations to come together for interaction and exchange of their ideas related to technology developments in the areas of strategic, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and bio-medical industries that require complex features on products, product miniaturization, precision manufacturing and quality control through advanced metrology. The conference also aims at networking of participant institutes/organizations/industries to systematically confront challenges in mutual areas of interest to advance manufacturing technology in these areas. The COPEN conference continues to grow as a platform where manufacturers, researchers and academia gather to connect with the pace of innovation in manufacturing technology
