Wind and solar energy, energy-efficient buildings, hybrid and electric vehicles, efficient production lines: mechatronics is by nature in the heart of all developments to optimize the energy resources. For its 10 years anniversary edition, EMM 2012 will explore the prospects, opportunities and new concepts of mechatronics at the service of sustainable development.

As with previous editions, the transverse principle of EMM provides 360° treatment which combines strategic, economic and technological perspectives, organized around 4 sessions:

• Mechatronics and intelligent buildings
• Mechatronics and sustainable energies
• Mechatronics and frugal industry
• Mechatronics and new modes of transportation
