About NAMEC: NAMEC is an overarching cluster set up in 2016 by the European Commission, in order to regroup all European projects focused on nanotechnologies and advanced materials for low carbon energy, energy storage and energy efficiency technologies. NAMEC builds on the experience of the EU PV Cluster, which has run with success since 2010 to highlight the key enabling role of nanotechnologies and advanced materials for photovoltaics.

Info

A prerequisite for the enhancement of the innovation capacity of European (as well as global) industries in the fields of Organic Electronics and Nanotechnologies is the adoption of an Open Innovation environment which is an open framework process that can accelerate innovation through collaboration between expert stakeholders from academic, research and industrial communities. The adoption of an Open Innovation approach allows the breaking down of boundaries that prohibit the internal ideas and approaches to be adopted by other entities, which would facilitate the mutual progress in relevant fields without duplication of effort in national, European and global levels.

Europe embraced Open Innovation in characterization and modeling by supporting the implementation of cutting edge research in selected topics that cover Organic Electronics, Microwave Microscopy and advanced nano-architectured and bio-inspired hard/soft interfaces.

The combined efforts to promote and progress in state-of-the-art Scientific and Research fields requires the compatibility with internationally accepted roadmaps and frameworks, towards the development of future standards.
During the Workshop a series of Invited talks, Oral and Poster presentations will be given by representatives from currently running EC R&D projects in that cover different aspects of Open Innovation for materials characterization & modeling (ranging from the atomic to the macro-scale or multiscale) applied on a broad range of subjects and applications.

The Workshop topics include:

• Open Innovation for multiscale modeling of materials
• Open Innovation for multiscale characterization of materials
• Modeling Data Analysis (MODA)
• Process and Manufacturing
• Standardisation needs in the manufacturing sector
• Industry needs on Open Innovation approaches
• Business Models and Sustainability for Open Innovation Databases

The collaboration between HOPE-A and IAPE is a main driver for the advancement of the Greece-China Cooperation in Technology, Innovation and Business in the era of Organic and Printed Electronics (OEs). HOPE-A is the Hellenic Organic and Printed Electronics Association, while IAPE stands for Innovation Alliance of Printed Electronics of China.

The topic of this Joint Workshop is to promote networking, twinning, joint ventures and business between members of HOPE-A and IAPE and their associated partners in order to foster the creation of partnerships, B2B and collaborations through bi-lateral and/or under EU H2020 programmes between Greece and China.

This Joint Workshop will present the current state of technology and entrepreneurial activities of the HOPE-A and IAPE partners in Greece and China on Organic and Printed Electronics nano-materials, devices (OPVs, OLEDs, OTFTs, sensors, etc), equipment, precision metrology tools, manufacturing processes, integrated systems and products, and applications in Energy, Lighting, Electronics, Automotive, Healthcare, 3D printing, Wearables, Internet of Things, to name but a few.
