Organic and large-area electronics, visualisation and display systems


Calls on Flexible, organic and large area electronics

The ICT Work programme 2009-2010 sets out the challenges and objectives for ICT research in the next two years. In this work programme, organic and large area electronics continues to be a priority area, which will be covered by the R&D objective "Flexible, organic and large area electronics".

This objective "Flexible, organic and large area electronics", which has a dedicated budget of 60 M€, covers R&D activities ranging from the development of devices and functional blocks to their integration into systems. Emphasis is on device demonstrators such as power converters, batteries, memories, sensors, actives RFIDs, D&A circuits and CMOS; and systems applications such as e-paper, e-card, energy storage, OLED/PV based systems, chemical/physical/bio sensors, signal processing, radio transmission & receive and signage.

In addition,this call will fund non-R&D activities aiming at structuring and consolidating this field. Support measures are expected to stimulate international cooperation, coordinate regional, national and EU R&D programmes and provide access to prototyping and design competences. The networks of excellence to be funded should aim at structuring and integrating the research capabilities in the area, providing links between R&D organizations and the industrial needs, coordinating R&D and providing training and education in the area.

The call for proposals in the objective "Flexible, organic and large area electronics" closed on 1 April 2009.
