mst -network Rhein-Main
The mst-network Rhein-Main is a 3 year local old association of more than 30 companies and research organisations in the high tech area around Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Hanau, Wiesbaden, Mainz and Aschaffenburg in the centre of Germany. In this network start-up and established companies in the area of magnetic sensors, infrared detectors and thermopiles, gas sensors, optical sensors, and their application in instruments are working together with universities and research organisations. Also material and support companies are among members. The partners have organised in working groups (WG), including a new WG on Micro-Nano-Integration, founded in May 2007, with main activities in the area of utilization of nanowires and carbon nanotubes, and other nanomaterials, in particular for sensors. The network activities includes · Common research and development projects and active technology transfer. · Training and education.· A common marketing and information distribution platform.· Deepening the cooperation between the partners and also with external partners. We have several WGs on Micro Drives, Microassembly and micro machining, Microsensors and micro-optics, Semiconductors and ASICs, Bio-MEMS, and Micro-nano-integration. These WG have regularly common meetings, with exchange of experience and discussion leading to common projects.
