Master Sustainable Electronics and Photonics (SEP) - Advancing Thin-Film Technology for a Resource and Waste-Conscious World
The Evolution of OME
Welcome to the Master’s program in Sustainable Electronics and Photonics (SEP). Building on our long-standing reputation in Organic and Molecular Electronics (“OME”), this interdisciplinary program provides the high-level professional skills needed for an international career in the cutting-edge field of thin-film electronics and modern optics.
Study the Future
A Comprehensive Material Portfolio
While organic electronics remains a major pillar, the SEP program reflects the true diversity of the "Beyond Moore" era. Our students gain deep technical expertise across a broad spectrum of materials, focusing on the research and development of:
- Next-Gen Devices: Ranging from OLEDs and nanowire transistors to optical memory, biomedical devices, and high-precision sensor devices.
- Flexible & Printed Electronics: Mastering low-temperature manufacturing for lightweight, bendable tech.
- Advanced Materials: Investigating the physics of organics, perovskites, and metal oxides in both micro and nano dimensions.
Innovation with a Sustainable Perspective
The field of electronics is evolving rapidly. To ensure our graduates stay ahead, we have integrated a mandatory focus on Sustainability and Resource Management alongside our core technical modules. You will explore:
- Ecological Considerations: Understanding the environmental impact of fabrication and material choices.
- Circular Concepts: Introduction to resource efficiency, recycling, and reuse strategies in the electronics lifecycle.
- Sustainable Processing: How innovative manufacturing (like printed electronics) can reduce the carbon footprint of high-tech applications.
Study the Future
From smart integrated systems to high-efficiency solar cells, the market for these technologies is predicted to reach hundreds of billions of euros in the next decade. With state-of-the-art study conditions and excellent mentoring, the SEP program prepares you to lead this growth—technically, scientifically, and responsibly.
