The Polytechnic School at University of São Paulo, and the IBERSENSOR Permanent Committee are pleased to invite researchers, students and professionals who work in the sensors and biosensors fields to participate on the 6^th Ibero-American Congress on Sensors, IBERSENSOR 2008, which will take place at São Paulo, Brazil, Morumbi Blue Tree Towers Convention Center, November 24^th - 26 ^th, 2008.

IBERSENSOR is a forum of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking scientific community, working in the fields of development of sensors of every kind and their applications.
