IMAPS

The International Microelectronics And Packaging Society (IMAPS) is the largest microelectronics and packaging society in the world.  It is an independent, non-profit making organisation and currently has over 50 chapters in more than 20 countries with a total membership of around 10,000.

The aim of the Society is the advancement and worldwide spread of knowledge and commercial realisation of microelectronics - a key technology in the assembly and application of silicon chip semiconductors, film circuits and printed wiring boards to form practical, miniaturised electronic equipment.

Society membership is open to all individuals connected with microelectronics; there are no formal educational qualification entry requirements, but professional skills and experience are recognised through adjudication and election to Senior and Fellow of the Society.

IMAPS-UK

The United Kingdom Chapter of IMAPS was the first international Chapter, and continues to maintain strong links with other European countries, the USA and the Far East, so recognising the worldwide interest in Microelectronics Technologies.

As the Society representing both the industry and the technology associated with microelectronics technologies, IMAPS-UK plays a leading role in developing the industry.IMAPS-UK works closely with both industry and academic institutions to ensure that members are kept up to date with the latest developments and innovations in microelectronics and to provide a forum for the industry to meet and shape its future.

The Society's objectives are achieved through small local seminars, workshops, major international conferences and exhibitions, the publication of newsletters and other activities relevant to promoting knowledge within the industry.  All written scientific and technical material resulting from IMAPS activities is generally available to the public.
