Poster Presentations

In addition to the oral presentations, we will also offer a poster exhibition. This means that instead of giving a presentation, you can display the essential information on an A0 poster on both days of the exhibition. During the Poster Session on Wednesday, March 6, 2024 from 18:00 to 19:30, you can communicate with the event participants personally and answer any questions on the spot.

Flexible and Printed Electronics™ Journal – Focus Collection

Furthermore, the LOPEC Scientific Board is collaborating with the academic journal Flexible and Printed Electronics™ by IOP, to publish a special Focus Collection of articles based on the research presented at LOPEC. This gives LOPEC presenters the unique opportunity to publish their research in a peer-reviewed journal. Submitted contributions must contain novel research and are not limited to results presented at the conference. All submitted articles will be peer-reviewed and must meet the high editorial standards of Flexible and Printed Electronics™.
