The Skabara group at the University of Glasgow (UoG) is best known for its ability to synthesise novel organic semiconductors. The materials encompass small to large molecules (up to 8,000 Da), well-defined and monodisperse oligomers and polymers prepared by chemical or electrochemical methods. Highlights of their work include organic lasers with several record-breaking lowest thresholds recorded, materials for LiFi, organic solar cells with highly promising efficiencies for molecular species, and field effect transistors with excellent air stability. The University of Glasgow won the Times Higher Education award for Best Scottish University in 2018.

The Dresden Integrated Center for Applied Physics and Photonic Materials (IAPP) belongs to the Department of Physics of the TU Dresden. The IAPP has an excellent international reputation, founded several industrial spin-off companies, and its members have received numerous awards in the field of organic electronics, including the German Future Prize (endowed 250.000€), awarded by the German President. The IAPP is the core basic research laboratory of Organic Electronics Saxony (www.oes-net.de), Europe’s largest organic electronics cluster and has intro- duced many pioneering technologies, including molecular doping and the pin-structure which is the basis of today’s record efficiency for OLEDs and organic solar cells. As such, the IAPP has a high international visibility and is constantly attracting excellent applications from all over the world. Furthermore, with its start-ups and excellent links to companies around Europe, students often have the possibility to directly pass into industry right after their graduation.
