On 26th February 2009, Chalmers organized a very successful workshop hold in Gothenburg on “Thermal transport in electronics and MEMS” . This event, sponsored by NANOPACK, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) ProViking program, Swedish National Science Foundation, and IEEE CPMT Nordic chapter, gathered academic and industrial experts of thermal management issues in electronics and allowed to present the project and to establish contacts with external partners.
