The event will take place under the high patronage pf the Ministry of Economy and of the Ministry of Education, Research and Innovation through ANCS.

The scope of organizing MECAHITECH 2009 is reuniting companies, universities, institutes and research centers with the goal to ensure an experience exchange on the latest news in innovation, trends and challenges within the mechatronic and mechanic engineering field, as well as developing new high-tech products and the introduction or the modernizing of the use of advanced technologies in the production process. This conference is addressed primarily to those institutions that are interested in developing scientific projects on a collaboration basis. The organizers’ intention is to identify common interest points in order to take part in collaboration actions such as: scientific agreements, the integration of Ph. D students in European research institutes/universities, technology transfer, thematic networks for European research projects.

The most important topics covered by the conference will be:

• Mechatronic, micro-mechatronic and nano-mechatronic systems;
• Advanced equipment in production and integrated control;
• Intelligent system production and control techniques;
• Computer integrated production;
• Robotics, micro-robotics and nano-robotics;
• Modeling and simulation;
• Incorporated intelligent control systems;
• Computer image and imaging processing;
• Bio-medical and bio-mechatronic systems and micro-systems;
• Communication and distributed intelligent systems;
• Technology transfer in the mechatronic and micro-mechatronics field –“high-tech” mechatronic products;
• High productivity and high added value industrial services;
• Sensors/micro-sensors and transducers/micro-transducer;
• System and informatic engineering;
• Intelligent micro-engineering;
• Micro-engineering integration;
• Intelligent measurement technique.

The organizers also featured: The University „Politehnica” of Bucharest, The University “Valahia” of Târgovişte and The Technical University in Cluj-Napoca, as well as AGIR – The General Association of Engineers in Romania, The Professional Association of the Romanian Patronage in the Field of Precision Mechanics, Optics and Mechatronics– APROMECA, The Romanian Association of Precision Mechanics, Optics and Mechatronics – AMFOR, The Romanian Society of Mechatronics– SROMECA, EUROP_RO – The European Robotics Platform – Romanian Subsidiary.

The attendance fee is de 200 Euros (for non-students) and 70 Euros for students. The conference language will be English.
