We kindly invite you to submit abstracts for the 5th International Conference on MicroFluidic Handling Systems (MFHS2024) being held on February 21 – 23, 2024 in Munich, Germany.

Topics

The fifth International Conference on MicroFluidic Handling Systems invites contributions describing the latest scientific, industrial, and technological research results in subjects including, but not restricted to:

• Sensors: Flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature, conductivity, heat capacity, density, pH, refractive index, relative permittivity.
• Actuators: Valves (normally open and normally closed), micropumps, mixers, dispensers, micro reactors, droplet generators, actuation principles (piezo, electrostatic, SMA, thermopneumatic,…).
• Machine learning: Fluid classification, prediction of water-in-oil emulsion sizes, micropump design and performance improvement, self-sensing of piezo driven microfluidic actuators, deep learning architectures for biological analysis, deep learning for experimental design and control.
• Fluidic systems: Mass flow controllers, precision mixing, dosing and dispensing, calibration, multiparameter systems, evaporators.
• Applications: Gas chromatographs, liquid chromatographs, medical analyses, micro reaction systems, bio-analytical systems, flow chemistry, organ-on-a-chip, production of pharmaceuticals, integrated cooling of power electronics, patch pumps, drug delivery in surgical robot systems, implantable drug delivery systems, gas sensor systems with sampling, scent dosing systems.

There are two types of presentations for which an author can submit an abstract, namely an oral or a poster presentation. For both types of presentations the author needs to submit a two page abstract via an online system at:

https://easychair.org/cfp/MFHS2024

The submission deadline is Monday October 16. After which you will be notified before November 13 whether or not your abstract has been accepted. Late News submission deadline is January 15, and a full four page abstract is required. If your contribution has been accepted by the program committee, a full four page abstract is required for the proceedings of MFHS2024. This has to be submitted before Monday January 29. 

How to update your extended abstract

Deadline to submit your four page abstract in PDF format is before Monday January 29.

ORAL PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

• Respect the time limit of 15 minutes for the Oral presentation itself. We have a tight schedule, longer presentations will be interrupted.
• After 15 minutes, there is 3 minutes for questions from the audience and 2 minutes left for switching speakers and slides.
• You are expected to bring you own computer with HDMI connection. Alternatively, bring your slides on USB-stick in Portable Document File (PDF) or Microsoft PowerPoint (PPTX) format. Be aware that using fancy fonts or embedded videos might break your presentation.
• All computers must have sleep mode turned OFF prior to connecting to the beamer.
• A pointer and microphone will be provided.
• Find your oral in the session program.
• Please have yourself and your slides ready before the start of your session, present yourself to the session chair before the session starts.
• Your slides should contain readable text and high quality figures.
• A template is not available. You are free to create your own presentation.

POSTER GUIDELINES

• All posters should have A0 paper size (1189 mm x 841 mm).
• You are required to present your poster in Wien room at the conference location on Thursday, 22^nd of February from 16:00 to 17:45.
• Mount your poster at the dedicated poster board, as will be specified at the conference location.
• Pushpins and/or magnets will be provided for your use.
• Your poster should contain readable text and high quality figures, clear from a distance of two meters.
• The posters should be placed as early as possible on the poster boards.
• All posters must be removed before Friday, 23^rd of February at 14:00. All posters left after the above time will be disposed.
• A template is not available. You are free to create your own poster.

Selected papers from the conference will be published in a special issue of Micromachines after the standard journal reviewing process.
