TRAINING

Integrated training

Integrated training courses are built on the concept of Training Fab and comprise a combination of theoretical and hands-on practical parts

INFRACHIP will offer Training Fab courses for both silicon processing and flexible electronics to students and professionals who want to learn more about device fabrication steps, equipment used for the processing and quality checks in place. 

  • Courses vary from short (2 full days) to long (2 full weeks) and will be adapted to the needs of international visitors. 
  • At the end of the course, the participants become familiar with basic fabrication principles, process steps, equipment and techniques of device fabrication and characterisation.

For Junior researchers and PhD, please also check the Research Accelerator Programme!

INFRACHIP SCHOOL

October 2024 – February 2025
Organised by the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU)
Registration closed on October 7th 2pm CEST

2D Materials for Flexible Energy Harvesting and Storage Devices


“2D Materials for Flexible Energy Harvesting and Storage Devices” focuses on utilizing advanced 2D materials like graphene and dichalcogenides to develop innovative, flexible energy solutions. This includes processing these materials for additive manufacturing, creating printable and sprayable formulations, and optimizing their properties through functionalization and doping. The field also explores organic and perovskite solar cells, emphasizing improved performance and stability. Additionally, it involves the industrialization of printing processes for photovoltaic modules and the development of printed and flexible electronics for various applications, including smart wearables and IoT. These efforts aim to enhance device performance and create efficient, flexible energy harvesting and storage solutions.


HMU is preparing the first INFRACHIP School, divided into two parts:

  • Digital learning: October 14-18th, 2024, with a series of webinars
  • Hands-on practice and training: February 24-28th at HMU, Greece

– 2D materials based ink formulation and characterization

– 2D material enabled energy harvesters and storage units fabrication

– Device demonstrations characterization


Information:

The INFRACHIP school is open to Master and PhD students, research staff, engineers.

The school is composed of an online part and a hands-on training, which will take place at HMU in February 2025. Applicants who successfully attend the first part of the school and pass the final test will be eligible to attend the hands-on training.

Applicants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses. In case of EU applications, applicants should seek opportunities through EU mobility programs such as Erasmus. The same can be the case for international applications. 

DIGITAL SCHOOL – “SENSE”

November 5th 2024 – November 26th 2024
Organised by INL

INFRACHIP organised its first Digital School, with an online series of webinars dedicated to provide and update information on advanced sensing technologies, spanning multiple different types of sensors—magnetic, optical, electronic, chemical, biological, mechanical—and different types of materials and structures used to implement them—from micro- and nanofabricated stacks of metallic, insulating, or semiconductor layers, to flexible substrates, to microfluidic platforms, to advanced materials such as graphene.

The Programme was as follows:

Multipurpose sensing with polymers – Dr Gregor Scheipl, JOANNEUM RESEARCH

PIC based sensing – Dr. Mateusz Słowikowski, Warsaw University of Technology | CEZAMAT WUT

Sustainable Agri, Food and Environment Sensor – Prof Alan O’Riordan, Tyndall National Institute

Environmentally friendly graphene-based inks for sensing electronics – Dr. Miguel Franco, UNINOVA

Training opportunities through our partners

INFRACHIP plans to provide many other training opportunities, thanks to its consortium network. Summer or Winter school will be organised, as well as hybrid training.
