Sensors & their Applications XIV

Introduction

On-line registration is now open.

The fourteenth in the series of Conferences on Sensors & their Applications (S & A XIV) will take place at Liverpool John Moores University in September 2007.  This popular event follows previous Conferences in the series which began at Manchester in 1983, included the first of the highly successful Eurosensors Conferences at Cambridge in 1987 and at Southampton in 1998.  The latest (thirteenth) Conference was held at the University of Greenwich at Medway in 2005.

The S&A series of conferences provides an excellent opportunity to bring together scientists and engineers from academia, research institutes and industrial establishments to present and discuss the latest results in the field of sensors, instrumentation and measurement.
