Quantitative Mechanical Testing at the Nanoscale

A new company built upon a world of experience! Agilent Technologies' renowned
former Electronic Measurement Group is now Keysight Technologies, Inc.
“Quantitative Mechanical Testing at the Nanoscale”
Scientific Nanoindentation Symposium
Location: AGH University, Krakow, Poland | Dates: 26–27 May 2015
Keysight Technologies cordially invites you to participate in a scientific symposium focused on testing
mechanical properties of materials at the nanoscale. This dynamic two-day event will be hosted by the
Academic Centre for Materials and Nanotechnology, AGH University of Science and Technology. We
are delighted to announce as invited key note speakers,
Dr. rer. nat. Michael Griepentrog, Berlin
prof. RNDr. Jan Dusza, DrSc.
Dr. Marek Nowicki, Poznan
The upcoming symposium in Krakow is a great opportunity to share your nanoindentation-driven
research with scientists and field experts from all of Europe. The symposium also offers a unique
chance to learn about novel developments and applications in a pleasant, informal environment.
Additionally, we would like to direct your attention to a special satellite workshop that will take place
at the symposium venue beginning at 9:00 a.m. on 26 May. The aim of this “How to…” session is to
provide important tips and tricks regarding software usage, advanced calibrations, data analysis, and
advanced applications. The workshop is also ideal for refreshing your knowledge of NanoSuite and
extending your toolset to facilitate a broader range of experiments. Space for this pre-symposium
satellite workshop is limited, so participation is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please register for the symposium / optional satellite workshop via [email protected].
