Inertial Sensors open new opportunities to a variety of applications, small or large, to perform services and tasks like Positioning, Navigation, Autonomous Navigation and Guidance, Safety Critical Systems, Oil Exploration, or even totally implantable biomedical prosthetics restoring functions of the heart (pacemakers),  vestibular system and balance. As such, substantial interest in inertial sensors has grown in recent years. Key areas to be addressed include New Sensors Phenomena, Sensors Systems  & Electronics, Atomic/Quantum Sensors, Innovations in Fabrication and Packaging, Calibration, Compensation, and Modeling, as well as a variety of new and enabled applications, such as  consumer electronics, medical devices, sport and fitness, automotive, oil/gas exploration, military, aeronautical and space sensor systems.

The technical committee will promote exchanges among researchers from academia, industry and government. The purpose is to identify the technologies and technical approaches to advance and mature the field of inertial sensors technology. Exchanges include conferences, workshops, special sessions in conferences and publications to promote discussion on technical and applicative problems. Envisioned will be on-line and printed resources to disseminate knowledge including cross-disciplinary information like fundamentals of inertial sensors, universal sensors interfaces, inertial navigation, as well as test and evaluation of inertial sensors.
