The OE-A Working Group Education promotes training and education activities in the field of organic and printed electronics in order to support the OE-A’s mission to build a bridge between academia, science and industry. Its key objective is to encourage international education and training activities in Europe, North America and Asia.
OE-A Education
The working groups’ goal is to promote printed electronics at the various educational institutions, the community aims to create a pool of highly-qualified students and employees trained in disciplines relevant to these emerging markets who can be recruited in the future. These activities are conducted in close cooperation with several EC-funded projects.
OE-A Education Platform
The OE-A Working Group Education also started a platform to connect OE-A member companies with students in this field. The company profiles include the respective activities, the options offered (internships, Bachelor or Master theses, or PhD programs), as well as relevant contact persons.
