Welcome from the Chair
4th International Symposium on Sensor Science (I3S 2015)
13th-15th July 2015
Pharmacenter, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
An international scientific conference sponsored by the journal Sensors under the patronage of the University of Basel.
Welcome
The 4th edition of the International Symposium on Sensor Science (I3S2015) ran from 13th to 15th of July 2015 in Basel, Switzerland. It comprised five plenary sessions and one morning with three parallel sessions. The conference covered the most exciting aspects and the latest developments in sensor science. The conference dinner took place on the second evening of the conference.
The I3S2015 brought together 170 participants from 40 different countries.
The symposium will now be followed by the publication of the I3S 2015 Selected Papers Special Issue. Manuscripts can be submitted until 31 December 2015. Authors who attended the conference will enjoy a 20% discount on the APCs of manuscripts published in this Special Issue.
