Microneedle Applications Workshop
Tyndall Logo


Date: 3 December 2008
Location: Tyndall National Institute, Cork


The Tyndall National Institute is currently supplying silicon microneedles to a number of Irish, UK and European research institutions. These recipients are using the needles in a wide variety of applications, ranging from drug and vaccine delivery to EEG measurement and optical clearing. On Wednesday December 3rd, these researchers will be brought together in Cork as part of the first Microneedle Applications Workshop. The emphasis will be on informal discussion of research activities and future interactions. Students and post-doctoral researchers are particularly encouraged to attend. Registration is free.

Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Drug and vaccine delivery
  • EEG monitoring
  • Optical clearing

Solving Challenges in Heritage - The Role of Sensors and Instruments
SHN Logo


Date: 11 December 2008
Location: National Convention Centre, Liverpool


Sensors and instrumentation are widely used in all areas of science and heritage, with examples of applications including environmental monitoring in museums, remote sensing and survey in archaeology and 3D scanning and data acquisition of buildings and monuments. Through a series of presentations from industrialists, heritage professionals, and researchers working in this area, this event, run in partnership with the Sensors & Instrumentation KTN, aims to:

  • Raise awareness and stimulate specific ideas for potential applications of sensors and instrumentation in the heritage domain
  • Understand the key drivers for the adoption of instrumentation by the heritage community
  • Showcase ideas for instrumented applications to stimulate the development of funding proposals and research partnerships
  • Showcase innovative technologies that may facilitate the development of new heritage applications for sensors and instrumentation
  • Provide networking opportunities for those interested in building a community of interested parties in this field

Date: 25 February 2009
Location: National Physical Laboratory, Teddington


Biosensing Special Interest Group (BioSIG) Meeting

The UK has been at the forefront of research and development in biosensors for Point of Care (POC) applications for more than 25 years with the advent of glucose and lateral flow tests. The aim of this meeting is to highlight some of the latest research and development work from UK Universities and companies that is leading to improvements in performance and measurement capabilities of biosensors and biosensing systems for POC applications. In addition to invited presentations there will be a range of posters on display highlighting other significant biosensor research activities from Universities and Industry.
