Plastic Electronics Centre for Doctoral Training renewed for a further 5 years

The EPSRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Plastic Electronics has been renewed for a further 5 years.

The EPSRC supported UK Centre for Doctoral Training in Plastic Electronics (PE-CDT) at Imperial College London was renewed for a further 5 years. Starting in October 2014, the CDT will be run jointly with Oxford University and Queen Mary University of London. Our aim is to graduate students with interdisciplinary experience and capability in the science and application of plastic electronic materials and devices, with an understanding of the associated industry and ability to adapt and develop new technologies and applications. Bringing together over 40 academic staff with an exceptional breadth of physical science and engineering expertise and knowledge, the new Centre continues to capture the multidisciplinary nature of PE – combining formal learning with hands-on training - with much of its content informed from both industrial and academic partners.
