In the center, capabilities in printing of polymers, large-area deposition and structuring of thin layers and design of device architectures will be further developed, used to create sensing-and-acting surfaces, large-area, thin-layered products such as organic lighting, sensor tags and organic electronics. Interaction and cooperation with both academia and the industry, including small- and medium-sized enterprises, enables the Holst to tune its scientific approach to the long-term product strategies of its partners. A transfer of technology is assured, and market requirements can be anticipated. Some industrial and university partners have already expressed their intention to participate in this type of R&D-collaboration. Companies, institutes and universities are invited to collaborate globally in the program initiatives. The center is named after Gilles Holst, a Dutch R&D pioneer and first director of Philips Research.
