EDMONTON, ALBERTA – Micralyne Inc., a world leading MEMS foundry, was pleased to announce its continued support for the Micralyne Microsystems Design Award presented at the CMC Microsystems Annual Symposium. Micralyne has supported the TEXPO student competition awards since 2001.

In previous years, Micralyne’s CEO Chris Lumb has been in attendance to present the award to the recipient. “Micralyne has always been supportive of the MEMS Industry, and by our continuous support of the Microsystems Design Award, we know we are encouraging new talent to join the field of MEMS Technology” said Chris Lumb about Micralyne’s involvement.

Award Overview
The Micralyne Microsystems Design Award is open to students in a graduate degree program in a Canadian university. The award will be made to the competitor who demonstrates the most novel and industrially relevant research results in the following areas of microsystems: MEMS, microfluidics, materials research and system-related developments that include research in these areas.

The award will be presented as part of the CMC Annual Symposium, taking place October 14-15, 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Ottawa. The TEXPO competition process consists of a Call for Papers from CMC Microsystems, CMC review’s the abstracts and accept researchers into the competition.
