Project description
Boosting technology transfer in organic electronics in Poland
The use of organic materials in electronic devices is promising for the development of sustainable, innovative, eco-friendly and accessible solutions in many fields. However, achieving a significant impact in this domain requires more research and extensive technology transfer. The EU-funded ExCEED project will set up a multidisciplinary Centre of Excellence in Organic Electronics at the Silesian University of Technology (SUT) in Poland. This five-year project, based on the existing R&I background and the high-impact ERA Chair holder, will enable the creation of an innovation base in the SUT. The overall goal is the recruitment of outstanding researchers, a manager and a future ERA Chair holder. The findings will boost the SUT’s scientific excellence in organic electronics.
Objective
The overall aim of the ExCEED project is to recruit an outstanding researcher and manager to be the ERA Chair Holder as well as recruit experienced researchers and innovation manager for the Silesian University of Technology (SUT) to establish the multidisciplinary Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Organic Electronics. To achieve this aim, the five-year project will be built upon the existing strong research and innovation base of SUT and the high impact ERA Chair Holder.
To boost their scientific excellence and technology transfer capacity in organic electronics, the ExCEED will implement a science and innovation strategy focused on four sub-topics:
1. Organic Transistors
2. Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
3. Organic Solar Cells
4. Organic Energy Storage Systems
In order to recruit the ERA Chair Team and establish the CoE in Organic Electronics, SUT will implement an ambitious Action Plan comprised of the following Action Steps:
• Action Step 1: Recruit ERA Chair Holder, Experienced Researchers, and Innovation Manager
• Action Step 2: Establish ERA Chair Strategic Research Programme and Postgraduate Training
• Action Step 3: Ensure the CoE supports Poland’s SMART Specialisation and EU Research Priorities
• Action Step 4: Raise the research profile of the CoE and ERA Chair Team
• Action Step 5: Disseminate the results of the CoE and ERA Chair Team
To support these actions steps, the ExCEED will implement a comprehensive set of measures via the project’s work packages:
• ERA Chair Team Recruitment (WP1);
• Strategic Research Programme and Postgraduate Training (WP2);
• SMART Specialisation and European Research Priorities (WP3)
• Summer/Winter Schools and International Conferences (WP4)
• Dissemination and Promotion (WP5);
