Manufacturing for Printed Electronics
20th March 2014, Clare College, Cambridge, UK
This is an international conference covering the recent advances in manufacturing techniques and materials for printed electronics. There is a specific focus on making the transition from ‘lab to fab’ and integrating devices into a final product. This conference is co-located with the 3rd plenary meeting of IEC TC119 (Printed Electronics), the standards committee which is a global effort to provide the technical foundation for the printed electronics industry.
There are keynote speakers from the National Centre for Printed Electronics at the Centre for Process Innovation and market research experts IDTechEx. Presentations will cover a range of subjects that include; materials, fabrication technologies, vacuum deposition, metrology and applications. Speakers are from leading organisations in printed electronics research and development including:
- Merck Chemicals
- Intrinsiq Materials
- M-Solv
- Novacentrix
- Bosch Rexroth
- Cambridge University
- Oxford University
- Manchester University
- Imperial College London
- National Physical Laboratory
- Holst-TNO
- Fraunhofer-ISIT
The conference will be a great opportunity to find out about the latest innovations in R&D in printed electronics manufacturing and meet others from around the world that are working in similar fields. Registration for delegates is free of charge and includes lunch and refreshments.

About the organisers
ESP KTN www.espktn.org
The Electronics, Sensors, Photonics KTN is a Knowledge Transfer Network funded by the UK Government through the Technology Strategy Board. One of our key programmes is the support of the printed & plastic electronics community in the UK. We carry out these duties through a variety of knowledge exchange tools and activities including industry events, strategy workshops, training courses, international missions, seminars & tutorials. Activities cover the entire value chain, from basic science at universities through process development and manufacturing upto and including end user interaction with brand holders. The KTN is free to join and provides access to people and organisations across the whole ESP technology space.
IOP PGS Group http://pgs.iop.org
The Printing and Graphics Science Group is part of the Institute of Physics. Our objectives are:
- To promote the application of physics in graphics arts technology, printing, packaging and paper making
- To promote the development of innovative printing in new markets such as displays, lighting and printed electronics
- To promote the recognition of the importance of physics in those industries, and to promote physics in these industries as a career choice to graduates
- To act as a forum for communication within the scientific community in these industries
