4M was established as a Network of Excellence under the European Framework Program 6 (FP6) to develop Micro- and Nano-Technology (MNT) for the batch-manufacture of micro-components and devices in a variety of materials for future microsystems products. The Network aimed to act as a knowledge resource to the research community and the industry in developing microsystems devices that provide new, enhanced, and multi-functionality in tiny packages, integrating micro and nanoscale features and properties into products and systems.

The main objective of IFMM is to bring together the possibilities from academic research and the needs of industries as much as possible. This forum consists of paper sessions, group discussions, a panel discussion, and a symposium for matching state-of-the-art technologies and needs. The exhibition of the achievement of industrial products is also planned to encourage the participants to touch concrete shapes and functions. In addition to seeking practical users, a purely scientific approach is also welcome in the paper sessions to understand various technological fields.
