Saarland University and Bruker are pleased to announce that Nanobrücken 2023 will take place May 23-25 in the beautiful city of Saarbrücken. Nanobrücken, Bruker’s annual Nanomechanical Testing Conference and User Meeting for international researchers and industrial leaders in nanoindentation and nanotribological testing, includes oral presentations from leading research groups, as well as live demonstrations and discussions with Bruker experts.
We are honored to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Prof. Dr. Gerhard Dehm, director at the MPI für Eisenforschung and professor at the Ruhr University Bochum.
Attendees can expect to discover new trends in nanomechanical and nanotribological testing, experience talks from internationally renowned scientists, engage with student talk and poster competitions, participate in live demonstrations and discussions with Bruker experts, and network with peers during nightly social events.
Oral Presentation Guidelines
Please bring your presentation file on a memory stick. The presentation screen aspect ratio is 16:9.
Poster Presentation Guidelines
