The University of St Andrews (USTAN) is Scotland’s first University, well known for its research across the sciences and humanities. Its physics department was ranked third equal in REF 2014 (the most recent national measurement of research quality), and is well known for pioneering work on optoelectronics. It houses the Organic Semiconductor Centre which provides extensive facilities for the study of organic semiconductor materials and devices and collaborates with researchers in chemistry, biology and medicine. Since its establishment in 2001, the OSC has produced well over 300 refereed papers and more than 10 patents. It has expanded the range of organic semiconductor materials with light-emitting dendrimers, and the range of OLED applications with skin cancer treatment. The centre is internationally recognised for its expertise in organic semiconductor photophysics – particularly photoluminescence measurements.

Centro Ricerche FIAT (CRF) is an industrial organization having the mi ssion to promote, develop and transfer innovation for providing competitiveness to FCA. With a full-time workforce of more than 850 highly trained professionals, CRF fulfills his task by focusi ng on the development of innovative products & materials, implementation of innovative processes development of new methodologies and training of human resources. To properly cover a very wide technological spectrum, CRF developed a global network with national and international institutes; private and public research organizations, universities and companies, through the promotion of common research activities, associations, conferences and seminars and researchers mobility. This network further strengthens the center’s global innovation strategies, the implementation of specific activities locally, creation of know-how and continuous monitoring to enhance competitiveness and further development in areas such as transportation vehicles and components, innovative materials and application technologies, as well as the work on innovative alternative propulsion systems and transmissions. CRF is organized in 4 technical divisions: Process Research, Vehicle and Body, Powertrain and Group Materials Labs. The division “Group Materials Labs” guarantees to the FCA companies the knowledge and applications of the materials from innovation to ensuring the quality of the materials in all phases of product development. GML are the material laboratories for whole FCA group in EMEA. This division is directly involved in the project
