The 9-th Asia-Pacific Conference of Transducers and Micro-Nano Technology (APCOT 2018) will be held at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong in 24 – 27 June 2018. Situated on China's south coast and, enclosed by the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea, Hong Kong is known for its impressive skyline and deep natural harbour. APCOT will provide interaction between attendees, presenters and exhibitors. The biannual APCOT meeting is a premier event with a history of eight successful conferences: The 1st APCOT was held in Xiamen, China in 2002, the 2nd APCOT in Sapporo, Japan in 2004, the 3rd APCOT in Singapore in 2006, the 4th APCOT in Tainan Taiwan in 2008, the 5th APCOT in Perth, Australia in 2010, the 6th APCOT in Nanjing, China in 2012, the 7th APCOT in Daegu, South Korea in 2014, and the 8th APCOT in Kanazawa, Japan in 2016. The number of participants has increased from 300 to 500 since the first APCOT 2002. The following topical areas will be featured at APCOT 2018 and abstracts may be submitted online.
