The Plastic Electronics Doctoral Training Centre hosts the Annual Projects Presentations for 2013

The Plastic Electronics DTC hosted the 2013 Annual Projects Presentation on 19^th September, students from the 3rd cohort gave short presentations to report on the progress of the CDT funded projects.

The presentations were followed by a poster session where students from the 2nd and 4th cohorts showcased their work.

Two prizes were awarded following the presentations and poster session:

Thomas Philips from the 3rd cohort was received the prize for best presentation

Pascal Cachelin from the 4th cohort received the prize for best poster.

Congratulations for both winners.
