Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor & Actuator – Symposium 2026

Driving Innovation, Sharing Knowledge, Building Networks

The SAW Symposium 2026 invites leading experts from research and industry to Dresden on September 17–18, bringing together the latest developments in Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technologies for presentation and discussion.

The Symposium is a biennial meeting point for science and industry, dedicated to advancing Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW)–based sensors and actuators. These technologies are key enablers for Industry 4.0, electromobility, smart homes, and lab-on-a-chip systems. SAW-based sensors unlock new possibilities for precise industrial monitoring and control, while emerging SAW actuators drive innovation in atomization and microfluidics. As an international platform connecting researchers and engineers from academia and industry for over a decade, the SAW Symposium invites you to join the community as an author, as an application- or technology-interested participant, or as a sponsor with an exhibition booth.

What to expect:

• Scientifically grounded keynotes and talks
• Engaging poster sessions
• A diverse industry exhibition
• Targeted networking in an inspiring setting

Evening program: Historical insights beneath Dresden's old town (September 17, 2026)

Following the symposium, we invite all participants to a special evening program. Together, we will discover the fascinating casemate vaults—a unique relic of Dresden's city fortifications that is otherwise rarely open to the public. This exclusive visit creates an atmospheric experience that rounds off the day in an impressive way.
