Announcement on 06 Nov. 2020
In light of the unprecedented circumstances, and the uncertainty due to the travel restrictions imposed by different countries, the Organizing Committee has made the decision to hold the conference virtually, from 17 to 28 May 2021.
Welcome from the Chairs
Gathering of the interdisciplinary community is necessary for synergistic development in the field of sensors and improvement of life quality. Updating the community on the most recent works and building new links between disciplines enables discussion and new collaborations.
This conference will bring together leading researchers, from both academia and industry, to share their recent findings on a range of topics related to Bio- and Nano-Sensors, Bioelectronics, Chemical Sensors, Physical Sensors, Sensor Applications, and Smart Systems. It will focus on significant advances in the area of sensorics, enabling increased sensitivity, portability, and connectivity. Therefore, the target participants for the proposed conference are experts in the sensors community while, at the same time, the conference is expected to be mutually beneficial for young researchers and students.
We look forward to welcoming you at this exciting meeting in Dresden.

I3S 2021 Live online sessions Information
Registration
The registration fee for all authors: 50€ per each accepted archival/conference paper. The registration fee includes the publication of your paper in Sciforum and in a dedicated issue of the journal Engineering Proceedings (ISSN 2673-4591), and priority for the registration (with extra cost 50 EUR) to the live online sessions with our keynote speakers.
The registration fee for participants: 50€ per participant. It's optional but necessary if you would like to join the live session during I3S 2021.
Finally, only registered authors will be able to apply for the Conference Awards, and the 20% discount on the publication fees for the Sensors Special Issue.
Participation to the conference is considered final only once the registration fee has been paid. Registration by at least one author per paper, denoted as Covering Author, is required to cover participation and publication of any accepted paper.
