The ^25th Micromechanics Europ (MME) was organized by ITU-MEMS in Istanbul between August 31 and September 3, 2014.

The MME workshop is a well established and recognized European event in the field of Micromachining, Microengineering and Technology for the realization of micro-sensors and -actuators. At the MME workshop scientists and people from industry interested in the field gather annually. The goals are stimulation and improvement of know-how in the field, as well as the establishment of cooperation and friendship between all delegates.

Some of invited speackersin the 25^th MME workshop were:

• Michael de Volder, Cambridge UK, "Capillary Forces and Carbon Nanotube Assemblies"
• Helene Andersson Svahn, KTH Sweden,  "Micro- and nano-fluidic devices for biotech and medical applications"
• Robert Puers, KU Leuven, Belgium "How to improve the acceptance of scientific papers"
• Levent Yobas, HKUST, Hong Kong "Silicon-based microsystems: from cells to molecules"

MME-2014 has covered the areas of materials, processing technology and devices. The organising committee received and published the subjects related to Micromachining, Micromechanics and Microsystems, including:

• Fabrication technologies and processes

• Materials
- Design and simulation tools

• Microcomponent packaging and solutions

• Device and process characterization

• Sensing and actuation applications
