Topics 2025

Organic semiconductor materials, with all their unique structures, open a world of possibilities that traditional silicon-based materials would find difficult to fill. The potential of organic electronics is now being unlocked across a broad range of applications, from energy conversion to flexible and sustainable devices. However, significant hurdles remain, particularly in improving stability, scalability, manufacturing, and performance across diverse systems.

This conference will bring together experts in molecular design, material synthesis and properties, as well as device characterisation, to showcase the latest advances in organic semiconductor research. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, the event aims to address key challenges and inspire new approaches to realising the full potential of organic materials in next-generation technologies.

The symposium will cover, but is not limited to the following themes:

/ Molecular design and synthesis of organic semiconductor materials

/ Chiral and supramolecular materials for advanced applications

/ Luminescence mechanisms (phosphorescence, fluorescence, (MR-)TADF)

/ Spectroscopy, photophysics, and exciton dynamics

/ Computational design and modelling of functional organic materials

/ Manufacturing approaches and scalable processing for organic semiconductors

/ Flexible, printed, and sustainable materials for organic electronics

/ Device integration: organic electronics, optoelectronics, and energy conversion
