International Workshop on Flexible and Stretchable Electronics

On behalf of the organising committee we would like to invite you to Flex-Stretch Electronics III, the third International Workshop on Flexible and Stretchable Electronics, which will take place in Berlin, Germany from November 16 - 17, 2011.

This workshop is part of the activities of the Integrated Projects PLACE.it and PASTA and other nationally funded projects in the field of flexible and stretchable electronics. Moreover international experts in the field, both from industry and from academia, will deliver key-note talks on the subject. Preceding the workshop a day of tutorials on flexible and stretchable circuit technologies is organised at Fraunhofer IZM in Berlin, where authorities in the field will share their knowledge and views.

Since the first successful workshop, held in September 2007, the technology has made considerable progress, both with respect to applications and to industrialisation schemes.

Discussion during the event will focus on

• Leading edge technology progress and research topics, especially for
  - foil based electronics
  - stretchable electronics
  - smart fabrics
• Industrialization
• Reliability
• Application potentials in the areas of healthcare and automotive

We look forward to seeing you in Berlin in November!
