Within the project called „Flexible Multifunctio- nal Bendable Integrated Light-Weight Ultra-Thin Systems“ (FLEXIBILITY) scientists at the Institute for Print and Media Technology at Chemnitz University of Technology [pmTUC] in Germany cooperate with partners from ETH Zurich, Siemens and TU Dresden. The total volume of the project is EUR6.9 million over a period of four years. Main objective is the manufacturing of flexible electronic systems using reel fed printing on paper or foil. FLEXIBILITY aims at significantly advancing the competitiveness of Europe in the area of multifunc- tional, ultra-lightweight, ultra-thin and bendable OLAE systems.
