The 60th International Conference on MIcroelectronics, DEvices and Materials, MIDEM 2025, continues the tradition of annual international conferences organized by the MIDEM Society. These conferences have always attracted a large number of Slovene and foreign experts working in these fields.

The topics covered by the conference are quite diverse, and presenting about 60 papers in five sessions over three days seems rather demanding. However, once a year scientists and engineers have the opportunity to present their work to the international public and to meet and discuss trends, news and problems related to their field of work. We believe that this at least balances the effort required by the attendees and the organizer.

The conference is well known in the electronics community. Hundreds of distinguished scientists from all over the world have taken part in previous MIDEM conferences. The goal of establishing contacts, collaboration and friendship among scientists and their companies remains the main aim for the organizer.
