A meeting to discuss issues of engineering and integration for present and future tracking systems.

Like last year, the Forum on Tracking Detector Mechanics will be organised together with the DRD8 collaboration meeting. The Forum will have the usual duration of 2 days, and the DRD8 collaboration meeting will take 2 days. 

Topics include

• Advanced cooling system technologies
• Qualification of novel materials, including mechanical, thermal, and radiation hardness characterization
• Engineering solutions for complex mechanical systems: vacuum compatibility, lightweight structural design, precision
