“UHMob International Conference - Organic Semiconductors: From Principles to
Applications”
Co-organized with Solvay
Mainz, Germany, 6 - 9 September 2022
(Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research)
Almost all of today's electronic technology involves semiconductors, mostly silicon. Organic semiconductors represent an innovative solution towards flexible, large-area, cost-efficient circuits and devices. However, before such semiconductors can reach the market, issues with performance, processing, and reliability need to be solved.
Our European Commission-funded UHMob project aims at designing, synthesizing, and assessing the performance of a novel generation of organic semiconductors creating a favorable environment for industrial innovations. As part of an International Training Network of the Marie Sklodowska Curie Action, UHMob aims to deliver the finest quality research training and transfer of knowledge in an interdisciplinary, inter-sectoral, and emerging supra-disciplinary field, to 15 early-stage-researchers (ESRs) to educate them to become future scientific leaders.
In the context of this project, an international conference is organized, which will bring together experts on molecular design, synthesis, spectroscopy, and characterization of organic semiconductors. Participants and speakers are welcome to attend in person. The goal of the meeting is to discuss the latest results of the ITN-MSCA UHMob project, in an international context. We plan to schedule a mix of talks from invited speakers and contributed talks besides poster sessions.
The conference will start on Tuesday September 6 with lunch upon arrival between noon and 2 PM. The conference ends with a lunch on Friday September 9, 2022.
