Project Consortium
The project Consortium is composed by 6 partners:

UNINOVA (www.uninova.pt) is a private non-profit research institute based in Portugal, acting in the fields of robotics, electronics, micro/nano-electronics, optoelectronics, telecommunications, artificial intelligence, environment and vacuum and production technologies. Together with CNMT/I3, UNINOVA is an internationally recognized world pioneer for paper electronics, following the invention and public disclosure of the first in the world paper transistor, followed by paper memory and paper battery, which generated a strong resonance to the scientific world and in the media worldwide. UNINOVA participates in the BET-EU project through Centro de Excelecia de Microelectornica e Optoelectronica de Processos (CEMOP) which has the main activities related to the development of processes and production techniques related to micro/nano-electornics and optoelectornics fields.


I3N was internationally recognized mainly thanks to its disruptive activity related to development and processing of transparent electronics, smart chromogenic materials, paper electronics and energy integration.


The Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems, Branch “Material Diagnostics” is focused on development and application of methods for high-resolution analysis of materials and devices. The institute is a recognized partner ofr industry, particularly silicon-based and organic electronics, but also for equipement suppliers.

Members of the consortium
The Instituto de Desenvolvimento de Novas Tecnologias (UNINOVA) manages all the activities under the coordination of Prof. Rodrigo Martins that has a strong experience in coordinating projects and networks. He already coordinated 12 International projects and 16 national projects. He coordinated the first project of semiconductor oxides (Multiflexioxides), considered by the EU as one of the 10 outstanding projects within FP6. Moreover, among other prestigious positions, he is the immediate past President of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) and the current president of the Senate.
The consortium is constituted by other 5 partners. The three I3N poles forms together with UNINOVA the “Portuguese scientific cluster” (identified as PT cluster in the proposal), that is supported by SPI in the dissemination and implementation of training activities. Twinning involves UCAM (modelling activities on materials and devices), FhG-IKTS (material science and nano-analytics) and VTT (process upscalling).
The coordinator is assisted by the project committee, the higher and final decision body of the project. It is composed of one representative from each of the project beneficiaries. Additionally, an external advisory board (EAB) is also involved. EAB is chaired by the Mare of Almada region, Joaquim Judas, with strong interest in promoting start-ups connected to the region; with 4 vice-chairs: Marco Falzetti, representing the European Materials community (from industry to scientific associations); Pedro Sarmento, representing Portucel, one of the largest world paper industry; Luigi G. Occhipinti, Outreach and Business Dev. Manager, University of Cambridge.
