The Organic Semiconductor Industry Awards (OSIA), sponsored by cintelliq and in association with OSA Direct, the world's leading newsletter on the organic semiconductor industry, aim to bring together the whole of the organic electronics and organic semiconductor industry in a celebration of the companies and people that are achieving the highest standards and driving this new industry forward.
This year's awards will be presented at the Gala Dinner of the Organic Electronics Conference and Exhibition (OEC-06) in Frankfurt, 26 September 2006.
Nominations are invited in the following categories:

Research & Development Award
Entries in this category will be required to demonstrate an original concept, practical development and implementation of organic electronics or organic semiconductor technologies. Judges will look for the originality of the technology, how it addresses a specific market requirement and whether it successfully addresses a design or manufacturing problem.

move the industry forward. The peer-review committee members will select their best two papers. These will be reviewed by all committee members and ranked according to predefined criteria.

The closing date for nominations for the 2006 awards is 7 September 2006. Full details of the awards and instructions on how to enter are given on www.cintelliq.com/awards.htm
