The biennial CANEUS Conference and Workshop is the world's premier international forum devoted to MNT development for aerospace applications. CANEUS aims to overcome the obstacles to transitioning mostly laboratory-proven MNT technologies to systems by putting in place an end-to-end technology development pipeline. By bringing together technology developers, end users and investors from Canada, the United States, Europe, Japan, and South Korea CANEUS aims to forge partnerships that will ensure the effective transitioning of aerospace MNT from a mostly conceptual stage to system-level implementations. Two hundred and sixty members of the global MNT community attended the first CANEUS conference, held in Montreal, Canada in 2002. CANEUS 2004 held in November in Monterey, California and built on the foundations and themes laid out in 2002. The CANEUS 2004 conference in Monterrey, CA succeeded in generating tremendous interest within Canada, Europe, the US and Japan for the development of a smoothly functioning technology development pipeline. A call for promising MNT concepts at the CANEUS 2004 Conference resulted in the submission and evaluation of 14 innovative concept topics. These concept papers are currently being transformed into coherent business plans, as per step 3 of Phase I - and will ultimately lead to the development of system-level prototypes. CANEUS is a shining example in bringing together the world community to find rapid, cost-effective ways to transition emerging Micro-Nano-Technology (MNT) concepts to Aerospace applications by developing system-level prototypes. |
