In addition to the knowledge and technologies for designing and testing chips, the area of ​​MEMS sensors is also being developed at FER. A distinguished international conference on MEMS technologies, DTIP 2025, was held in Split at the beginning of June 2025, in the organization of which Assistant Professor dr. sc. Dinko Oletić.

After the conference, FER was visited by professors Emile Martincic, from the Université Paris-Saclay, France and Yoshiho Mita from the University of Tokyo, Japan, who discussed opportunities for continued cooperation with the FER management.

As part of the visit of prof. Yoshiho Mita also held an interesting lecture entitled "Direct Use of Non-Electrical Energy for Sensing and Computation through MEMS", where he introduced the audience to the work of his research group, i.e. the use of MEMS devices for "zero-power" recording of maximum acceleration and MEMS-in-memory computing machines. The use of MEMS as a low-power peripheral device is one of the promising areas of research. Due to the microscopic scale of MEMS devices, it is possible to directly use energy available in the object being measured (e.g., kinetic energy) and convert it into mechanical or electrical responses of the MEMS device passively, without supplying any external electrical energy. Professor Yoshio Mita's group at the University of Tokyo has been working on such passive MEMS sensors and "direct energy conversion" devices for 10 years.
