| Description: | RCA Plastic Electronics Seminar A new era of electronics is happening; organic and other materials are being used to create electronic devices and circuits with shapes and forms that previously would not have been possible. Instead of traditional printed circuit boards, electronic circuits and chips can now be made by printing or embedding them on paper, plastic or even textiles – so they can be flexible, thinner, lighter, mass-produced, organically safe for disposal and cheaper. This opens the door to a future of incredible possibilities. This joint ESP KTN & RCA seminar presented by industry leaders in plastic electronics and RCA staff, students and graduates will enable an exchange of knowledge and imaginative ideas, leading to exciting collaborations, projects and funding. The Electronics, Sensors, Photonics Knowledge Transfer Network (ESP KTN) represents and provides access to industries, academia and entrepreneurs throughout the UK plastic electronics community. The Royal College of Art is the only wholly postgraduate art and design college in the world and has a rich history of innovation, with many products now in everyday use starting as RCA graduate projects. InnovationRCA leads on interdisciplinary knowledge exchange at the RCA, catalysing meaningful collaborations between design innovators, scientists and technologists. |
