Over the last years, enormous technological achievements have been made in the field of organic electronics and photonics and some applications such as light-emitting diodes, photovoltaics, and flexible electronic paper are now in an advanced stage of commercialisation.  However new functional organic materials are still missing to enable the next generation of applications.

These materials should allow new or enhanced properties in electron transport, conversion of photons into electrons and/or conversion of electrons into photons and being printed in a continous process.

The Organic Nanomaterials for Electronics and Photonics project will develop the missing high-performance, low-cost multifunctional materials and their process technology
to strengthen industrialization of the electronics and photonics sector in Europe thanks to the synergy between academic and industrial research and the integration of complementary competences.
