Call for papers for the Organic Electronics Conference and Exhibition 2007

cintelliq ltd, the world's leading provider of information services and strategic consulting to the organic semiconductor industry, has issued a call for papers for the Organic Electronics Conference and Exhibition 2007 (OEC-07) which will take place in Frankfurt, Germany from 24-26 September 2007.

Now in its fifth year, OEC is the premier international event for scientists, engineers, manufacturers and investors in organic semiconductor technologies and organic electronics. OEC is unique in that it is industry-led and industry-focused.

The conference will be divided into three commercial tracks with invited speakers, and one academic track in which competitively selected, peer-reviewed, papers will be presented. Each day of the conference will open with presentations by keynote speakers.

OEC-07 is cordially inviting papers for the consideration of the 2007 peer review committee. The best 24 papers will be accepted for presentation in the peer-reviewed conference track. The deadline for the submission of a 300-word abstract and a 35-word summary is Friday 27 April 2007. For more details, visit the Call for papers page.

Papers are invited on subjects relating to organic semiconductor technologies including, but not limited to:

integrated circuits
photovoltaic
memory devices
displays
signage
lighting
RFID
smart packaging
sensors
backplanes

offset printing
ink-jet printing
vacuum deposition systems
gravure printing
flexographic printing
roll-to-roll printing
patterning
materials
encapsulation
inline manufacturing

The 2007 peer-review committee currently includes the following:

Dr Jeremy Burroughes, Chief Technology Officer, Cambridge Display Technology
Craig Cruickshank, Founder and Senior Analyst, cintelliq
Dr Ghassan Jabbour, Associate Research Professor, University of Arizona
Dr Jiro Kasahara, General Manager, Fusion Domain Laboratory, Sony Corporation
Dr Takao Someya, Associate Professor, University of Tokyo

Further members will join the committee in the next few weeks.

The papers that are selected for inclusion in OEC-07 will also automatically be entered into the 'Best Peer Reviewed Paper' category of the Organic Semiconductor Industry Awards (OSIA), which will be presented at the conference gala dinner. Nominations for the other OSIA categories will open in April.

Last year's conference, OEC-06, attracted about 320 participants from 200 organisations, and this year's conference is expected to be significantly larger. OEC-07 will offer a mixture of invited and peer-reviewed presentations, as well as an exciting exhibition featuring state-of-art technology from across the industry, and a new selection of pre-conference workshops.

Craig Cruickshank, founder and principal analyst at cintelliq, said, "The selection process is competitive with only the best papers being accepted for presentation at the conference. We were very impressed by the calibre of the papers submitted to the peer-review committee last year and are looking forward to reviewing more high quality submissions in OEC-07."
