April 7–8, 2016: SID Mid-Europe Spring Meeting
The next Society for Information Display Mid-Europe Meeting will take place in Berlin, Germany. A €1500 award will be granted to the best student contribution to the spring meeting. The winner of last year’s student award was Mohammed Mohammadimasoudi from Ghent University for his paper, “Thin-film polarized liquid-crystal backlight.” According to Mid-Europe Director Herbert DeSmet, “The Mid-Europe Spring Meeting is the best way to find out about the latest display developments from European companies, particularly because EuroDisplay, held every other year, does not take place until 2017.”
More information about dates, location, and agenda will be available soon at www.sid.org/chapters/europe/mideurope.aspx.
For information, Contact the Mid-Europe Director, Herbert De Smet, at Herbert.DeSmet@elis.UGent.be.
