AMA Science Board
Science and Research in the Association
The AMA Science Board comprises a network of 70 committed representatives from scientific institutes of diverse universities and research facilities.
The AMA Scientific Council brings together around 70 scientific institutions from across the entire field of sensor and measurement technology. It is composed of dedicated researchers from universities, universities of applied sciences, and research institutes.
The key focus areas of the AMA Scientific Council include research and development, the joint study Sensor Trends 2030 conducted by the AMA Association and VDI, education and training, AMA congresses and specialist conferences, as well as the initiation and evaluation of funding measures.
Each year, the AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement presents the AMA Innovation Award for outstanding achievements in the field. The jury, primarily made up of members of the AMA Scientific Council, has been recognizing innovative, market-relevant developments in sensors and measurement technology since 2000.
Since 2021, the Sensor and Measurement Science International (SMSI) Conference has been held biennially. This international congress merges the former AMA SENSOR and IRS² congresses and serves as a global networking platform for sensor and measurement science. SMSI offers the international expert audience a space for in-depth technical exchange and the presentation of the latest research findings across disciplines.
Another milestone is the Open Access journal Journal of Sensors and Sensor Systems (JSSS), initiated by the AMA Association. It has established itself as a recognized scientific journal in the field, offering researchers a high-quality platform for publishing current findings in sensors and measurement technology.
Connecting Science and Industry
The biannual meetings of the AMA Scientific Council address current trends and research questions, discussed together with external guests and AMA members from industry and other associations.
Further information about the AMA Scientific Council is available on our website under AMA Association – Committees and Working Groups.
AMA members receive a personal invitation including the agenda in advance and may participate free of charge. Non-members are charged €150.00 plus VAT.
