The principal points of the 1999 Summit are as follows:

  1. The papers presented to the Summit represented a more diversified view of the technology than in previous years, and no clear theme emerged. However, there was strong evidence of a maturing discipline that was beginning to merge and integrate with established technologies in many areas.
  2. Wireless MEMS appeared to be an important new direction of development which had the potential to influence the direction of many different programmes in the future, and in particular, to solve the longstanding problem of interconnecting large numbers of individual microsystems.
  3. Standardisation issues were prominent with several speakers expressing the need for further progress in this area.
  4. Medical applications of Micromachines were continuing to be realised and there was a notable trend to imitate nature in more recent catheter developments.
  5. The overall impression gained from this Summit is that Micromachine and Microengineering development in general continues to flourish on a world-wide scale, and is now firmly recognised as the major group of enabling technologies for the next millennium. There was a strong desire amongst the participants to ensure that this unique set of emerging technologies is used for the benefit of mankind wherever possible, and in accordance with the basic themes and principles of the Summit.
  6. At a meeting of Chief Delegates, it was agreed that Korea would be invited to attend the next Summit as a full member of the Summit community. Their status at the UK Summit was as special guest of the UK.
  7. The 6th summit for the year 2000 will be held in Hiroshima, Japan on April 10 - 12.
