In 2025 Chemnitz will be in the international spotlight of measurement technology: The IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC), one of the world's leading conferences for measurement technology and instrumentation, will be held in Germany for the first time from 19 to 22 May 2025 - with Chemnitz University of Technology as host. The Chair of Measurement and Sensor Technology, headed by Prof. Dr. Olfa Kanoun, is responsible for the organisation.
Every year, the I2MTC brings together leading scientists, industry experts and other specialists to present the latest research findings, innovative applications and current trends in measurement science and technology. In Chemnitz, the conference will once again provide a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue on a wide range of topics - from biomedical to industrial and environmental metrology - in addition to high-calibre keynote lectures, technical sessions and workshops. This year, more than 500 papers were submitted from 47 countries. The majority of submissions came from China, Italy, Germany, the UK, the USA, Taiwan and Canada. More than 50% of the authors are from Europe. Following a rigorous review process, around 350 papers will be presented. In total, more than 400 participants are expected in Chemnitz.
A special highlight of this year's edition is the 75th anniversary of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society (IMS). To mark the occasion, attendees can look forward to a series of exclusive celebrations and professional events. Many distinguished guests from the IEEE's specialist areas will be travelling to Chemnitz to celebrate this anniversary with the IMS. In addition, an international student competition will be held to promote young talent and provide innovative impetus for the future of metrology.
The conference organization team has succeeded in attracting excellent scientists for the plenary lectures. One of them is Prof. Dr. Oliver G. Schmidt, head of the Centre for Materials, Architectures and Integration of Nanomembranes (MAIN) at Chemnitz University of Technology, who is one of the ‘Highly Cited Scientists’ and will speak on ‘Micro-Origami-Robots: From Single Agents to Microelectronic Morphogenesis’. Another outstanding lecture will be given by Prof. Dr. Stephan Schlamminger from the National Institute of Standards, USA, who will talk about ‘Chasing Precision: How Fundamental Constants Are Determined’.
A special highlight of the Chemnitz edition is an industry panel that will shed light on the central role of measurement technology in industry, particularly in the semiconductor industry. The panel will be chaired by Prof. Dr. Harald Kuhn, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems (ENAS) in Chemnitz.
The organisation of this prestigious conference in Chemnitz reflects the growing international recognition of our location. It is a joint success that not only underlines the quality of our research, but also impressively confirms the increasing international visibility and excellence of our location. At the same time, we are delighted to be able to present TU Chemnitz and the city of Chemnitz to a global community of experts in this high-calibre setting," emphasises Kanoun.
The conference will be chaired by Prof. Dr. Olfa Kanoun (Chemnitz University of Technology), Prof. Faouzi Derbel (Leipzig University of Applied Sciences) and Prof. Carlo Trigona (University of Catania, Italy). Several members of the Chair of Measurement and Sensor Technology are happy to be part of the organising team.
Dr Thomas Keutel, member of the international organisation team, says: "It is a special pleasure to contribute to the promotion of measurement technology and at the same time show that Chemnitz is an outstanding science location."
The choice of Chemnitz as the venue is made all the more attractive by the fact that the city will also be the European Capital of Culture in 2025. "This unique combination opens up fascinating perspectives for interdisciplinary dialogue and global networking. In addition to top-class scientific discussions, conference participants will experience an inspiring cultural programme - a symbiosis that presents Chemnitz as a vibrant metropolis where innovation and cultural life go hand in hand", says Kanoun.
The Chair of Measurement and Sensor Technology alone is enriching the conference with a portfolio of ten scientific papers and an exclusive tutorial on 'Impedance Spectroscopy: From Fundamentals to Advanced Applications and Signal Processing, led by Prof. Kanoun and Dr. Ahmed Yahia Kallel. "This international stage provides us with an ideal opportunity to demonstrate our research excellence and at the same time reinforce the importance of our location in the scientific community," emphasises Kanoun.
The Chair of Measurement and Sensor Technology's many years of experience in organising prestigious conferences is reflected in its impressive track record: since 2008, it has established the International Workshop on Impedance Spectroscopy (IWIS) as a permanent fixture in the professional world. In 2022, the Chair will bring the IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA) to Chemnitz, followed by the highly regarded IEEE Conference on Robotic and Sensor Environments (ROSE) in June 2024. With the hosting of I2MTC 2025, Chemnitz is now impressively consolidating its reputation as a beacon of science and technology in the field of electrical engineering and information technology - another milestone in the dynamic development of the location from Kanoun's point of view.
