Things that think - European research project spurs Polymer Electronics to Ambient Intelligence

The focus of the project is to develop low-cost applications for ambient intelligence that provide multiple ways of communication with the environment and can be integrated into an overall network in everyday life.
The easy-to-use and standardized interface of the devices will lead to numerous commercial, industrial and educational benefits. At the same time, the PolyApply project anticipates increasing security and safety.
Coordinated by STMicroelectronics, the PolyApply project involves 20 partners, including leading European polymer electronics players, global semiconductor manufacturers, and potential end users of new technologies, as well as several research institutes and universities.
By building a foundation of a scalable and ubiquitous communication technology based on polymer semiconductor technology, the PolyApply project will strengthen European expertise in the field of polymer electronics, in line with the objectives of Information Society Technologies priority.
