Organised by the IOP Instrument Science and Technology Group

Co-sponsored by the University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing and Croatian Mine Action Centre - Centre for testing, development and training (HCR-CTRO)

The S&A series of conferences provides an excellent opportunity to bring together scientists and engineers from academia, research institutes and industrial establishments to present and discuss the latest results in the field of sensors, instrumentation and measurement.

The seventeenth in the series of conferences on Sensors & their Applications (S&A XVII) will be hosted outside of the UK and Ireland for the first time in Dubrovnik, Croatia in September 2013. This popular event follows previous conferences in the series that began in Manchester in 1983 and included the first of the highly successful Eurosensors conference at Cambridge in 1987 and at Southampton in 1998.
