The symposium Materials and systems for micro-energy harvesting and storage (symposium W) is going to be held in the general frame of the next E-MRS Spring meeting (2-6 May 2016) in Lille (France).
Among others, it will cover issues on materials and micro devices for thermal or mechanical harvesters, and on microbatteries or supercapacitors storage solutions.

Abstract submission deadline: 15th January 2016
Symposium organisers:
This symposium is supported by the following EU projects that are receiving funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme:
Micro-Energy Harvesting (μ -Eh) - Claudio Cenedese
Silicon Friendly Materials and Device Solutions for Microenergy Applications - Paolo Moiraghi
The 2nd Sinergy Workshop was held inside the Energy Harvesting Systems - FlexTEG" - June 25-26, 2015 Fraunhofer IWS Dresden.
Energy harvesting is a means of powering wireless electronic devices by scavenging ambient energy sources such as heat, vibrations, electromagnetic radiation or motion, and their conversion into useable electrical energy. Energy harvesting devices are potentially attractive as replacements for batteries in low power applications.
The FlexTEG-Workshop 2015 has offered a platform to discuss:
This workshop has presented two related topics:
The workshop has bring together leading experts in this field and newcomers interested in this fascinating and vibrant field. Ample time for discussion and networking has made this event a great marketplace for new ideas and business in energy harvesting.
