The Sensor Decade 2026 Conference
The biennial meeting brings together leading researchers, innovative companies, and regulators to share knowledge and expertise, to accelerate the development of new ideas.
We’re excited to present at The Sensor Decade 2026 Conference (TSD 2026).
Sensors are central to Europe’s transformation agendas. They create a vital link between the physical and digital worlds. The Sensor Decade’s grand challenges include – Sensing the Planet to safeguard climate, oceans and food systems. Sensing the Body for health, medtech and microsurgery. Sensing the Engineered World for autonomy, robotics and industry. and Sensing the Invisible to unlock quantum, photonics and nanotechnology. The conference explores the full spectrum of enabling technologies from sensor materials, integration, chip design and microfabrication, multimodal and AI-enhanced sensing, advances in physics, and solutions that support sustainability and circularity.
This year, the focus of the conference is the expansion of the sensor value chain at both ends: with quantum sensors opening new physical frontiers, and AI-enhanced sensing unlocking greater value from data.

How sensors are key for the next generation of Organ-on-a-chip devices
Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) technologies, also known as microphysiological systems (MPS), are an advancing, and increasing key, technology in the field of cell culturing. Such systems facilitate the growth of complex, three-dimensional cell cultures with structures and functionalities far closer to those seen in vivo than are present in traditional two-dimensional cell culturing. By the introduction of scaffolding and controlled fluidic flow a greater, and more physiologically relevant, set of phenotypes can be expressed. This allows for more complex and sophisticated studies to be carried out, sitting at a critical point between 2D in vitro and animal in vivo in the drug discovery process, capable of producing responses superior to either model. Recent changes in regulatory approach in both the US and UK now make microphysiological systems viable methods for the reduction of pharmaceutical animal testing. The resultant interest and uptake bring greater demands in terms of accessibility, throughput, and data volume, challenging current measurement capabilities. This need represents an excellent opportunity for the introduction and integration of real-time sensing to increase data quality and experimental confidence. From dissolved gases to small molecules to complex proteins, sensing of key indicators promises to be transformative in adoption and impact of this nascent technology.
