Printed Electronics Workshop

Our workshops offer hands-on experience in every step of the printed solar cell manufacturing process, from material and ink preparation to printing, testing, packaging, and final integration. With practical training, you’ll build solid expertise in the field. If you complete our full series of modules, you’ll become a master of roll-to-roll (R2R) printed solar cells.

Tailored Learning with Modular Workshops

Our workshops cover the entire solar cell production process, with modules that allow you to focus on areas that match your existing skills or fill gaps in your knowledge. Each module is designed to be flexible and focused, enabling you to tailor your learning journey.

Hands-On Training

The workshops are primarily practical, with some theoretical sessions on equipment usage and safety. Participants must sign a responsibility declaration upon registration before starting any practical work. We offer 6 action-packed modules, each lasting 9 hours with a one-hour lunch break (lunch included). Workshops can be customized for companies and conducted under an NDA. All materials and expenses are included; travel, breakfast, and accommodation are not.

Students and ECTS Credits

We welcome master’s and PhD students. Depending on your university, the workshops may qualify for ECTS points. At the end of the program, you’ll receive a diploma detailing the course objectives, time commitment, and ECTS equivalent. Please consult your university for external course recognition.
