The Symposium intends to bring together chemists, materials scientists, biologist, physicists, and engineers from both academia and industry to share information on the broad field of conjugated organic materials and their interface with biological systems. Both fundamental studies and applied research towards device applications and emerging technologies will be welcome. It includes all types of organic or hybrid organic/inorganic functional materials, as well as their electronic, photonic and optoelectronic properties. The research topics comprise all types of synthesis, processing techniques (molecular crystals, multilayers, self-assemblies, printing techniques, and thin films), compounds (polymers, small molecules, composites, blends, nanoparticles, liquid crystals, hybrid), micro- and nano-fabrication, interfaces, spectroscopic characterization (linear and non-linear), surfaces (conducting, flexible, transparent substrates), electronic, and photonic properties. In addition, the symposium is equally open for any type of electronic, photonic and hybrid devices, such as: light-emitting diodes (LEDs), field-effect transistors (FETs), MIS capacitors, diodes, LASERS, electrochemical cells and transistors, photovoltaics (PVs), thermoelectrics, supercapacitors, integrated circuits, non-volatile memories, batteries, sensors, actuators & detectors, including their interface with biological materials. In this context, the Symposium aims to discuss the future of Organic Electronics, Photonics and Bioelectronics to discuss our current understanding and to define future trends of this exciting field.
