Workshop and Showcase

Date: Monday 11th February 2013, 11am-3.15pm
Location: Imperial College, London

Overview

In 2009, the EPSRC funded the three-year project: 'Next-Generation Energy Harvesting Electronics: Holistic Approach'. The project involved over 25 researchers at four universities (the University of Southampton, Newcastle University, Imperial College, and the University of Bristol) in partnership with four industrial companies: Dialog Semiconductor, Diodes Incorporated, ARM, and Mentor Graphics. The research joined together different research fields, including energy harvesting and MEMS processing, efficient power-conversion electronics, low-power embedded computing systems, simulation and electronic design automation.

The project is now complete, and the consortium held a workshop at Imperial College London on 11 February 2013 to showcase the project's demonstrators and research findings. The agenda is shown below, or can be downloaded via the link at the bottom of this page. Attendees found out about the project's objectives and achievements, followed by an interactive showcase of the project's demonstrators and research outputs. A particular emphasis of the event was giving attendees the opportunity to interact with the project's researchers and academics. In the afternoon, a series of technical seminars discussed various areas of the research in more depth. The agenda was designed to give attendees the flexibility to either drop-in for the project overview and demonstrations (morning session only), or to come for the full day and get the full holistic experience!
