It recently entered into a long-term partnership in the field of organic electronics with Georgia Tech and COPE. Solvay has a long tradition of organizing high-impact symposia, dating back to the prestigious \u0022Conseils Solvay\u0022 (Solvay Conferences) of the early 20th century.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ELast April, Solvay and COPE began a three-year, $3 million partnership for research into organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). OLEDs are thin-films of organic molecules that give off light when electricity is applied. They could potentially be used in everything from television and computer monitors to household lighting to handheld computing devices, such as iPods and personal digital assistants.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ESince then, the partnership has expanded to include research on organic solar cells and is valued at $5 million.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe First Solvay-COPE Symposium on Organic Electronics will feature four distinguished speakers with strong international reputations in organic electronics:\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EProfessor Sir Richard Friend, University of Cambridge, UK;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nProfessor George Malliaras, Cornell University;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nProfessor Antoine Kahn, Princeton University; and\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nProfessor Samson Jenekhe, University of Washington.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFour Georgia Tech faculty will also deliver invited lectures at the Symposium: Professors David Collard, Greg Durgin, Ken Sandhage, and David Sherrill. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:olanda.bryant@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EMs. Olanda Bryant\u003C\/a\u003E (404-385-6356).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Solvay and the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics (COPE) at Georgia Tech are pround to announce the First Solvay-COPE Symposium on Organic Electronics.
