The Symposium was organized by the technology oriented polymer research institute TITK Rudolstadt together with the Ilmenau Technical University.
Besides of other activities in research, development and education, both are engaged in the fields of organic electronic devices as field effect transistors (OFET's or PFET's), polymer solar cells, as well as polymer actuators and OLEDs.

Background and Aims of TPE04

Rapid and remarkable progress in R&D on polymer electronics has been achieved in the last few years. Therefore it was time to exchange and discuss research results, unresolved material problems and barriers of commercialisation of plastic electronics.

Such an international communications platform took place for the first time and put 110 scientists in a position to present their findings. The Symphonic Concert in the castle "Heidecksburg" with the enclosed get-together was a pleasurable agenda. Altogether it was an outstanding presentation and lots of contacts could be socialized. For the future we hope many ideas, further progresses will be realized and we will meet us again for a next exchange.

Lots of thanks for coming,
TITK
