We kindly invite you to submit abstracts for the 6th International Conference on MicroFluidic Handling Systems (MFHS2026) being held on September 28 – 30, 2026 in Enschede, The Netherlands.

Topics

The sixth 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: an oral or a poster presentation. In both cases, a two-page abstract needs to submitted via the online system. Templates in Word and Latex can be downloaded here:

More information will be available here once the online abstract submission system has opened.

Abstract submission: June 15, 2026.
Notification of acceptance: July 6, 2026.
Late news submission: August 31, 2026.
Extended abstract submission: September 14, 2026.

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).
• 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.
• A template is not available. You are free to create your own poster.

Extended abstracts will be published in the MFHS 2026 conference proceedings. Selected papers from the conference will be published in a special issue of Micromachines after the standard journal reviewing process.
