The HELIOS project brings together leading universities and organisations specialising in advanced research in the field of organic light-emitting systems. Our partners have many years of experience in researching organic materials, electronic technologies and innovative solutions for energy-efficient lighting, which allows them to create innovative solutions for the lighting industry:
Kaunas University of Technology (KTU)
A leading technical university in the Baltic States with strong industrial ties. The Department of Polymer Chemistry and Technology, in particular the Materials Chemistry research group, collaborates with Samsung, BASF and Novaled to develop organic semiconductors for OLED displays and electronics. This makes KTU a key partner in cutting-edge research.
University of Glasgow (UoG)
The fourth oldest university in the UK (founded in 1451) and one of the top 100 in the world (QS: 81st, THE: 86th). Its School of Chemistry has produced six Nobel Prize winners, including David Macmillan. Professor Peter Scabara, Head of the Ramsay Chair of Chemistry, researches organic electronic and photonic materials, developing advanced organic semiconductors for lasers, solar cells, transistors, LEDs and molecular devices.
Riga Technical University (RTU)
The oldest technical university in the Baltic States (founded in 1862), known for its high level of engineering and technical education. The Faculty of Materials Science and Applied Chemistry (FMSAC) conducts cutting-edge research in materials science, polymer science, and nanotechnology, focusing on industrial and technological applications. FMSAC promotes innovation in sustainable energy and advanced materials through its state-of-the-art laboratories and international collaboration.
INTELLIGENTSIA CONSULTANTS SARL (INT)
A consulting company that provides expert training in project management, proposal preparation, scientific communication, and intellectual property. INT has successfully supported more than 50 EU projects, including prominent Twinning initiatives such as ASCIMAT and MaNaCa. As a member of ASTP, EARMA and IOP, the company specialises in creating centres of excellence and technology transfer in the fields of physics, nanomaterials, sensors, and aerospace technologies. INT has extensive experience of working with Ukrainian research institutions and facilitates their integration into the European Research Area.
The HELIOS project aims to develop international scientific cooperation, exchange knowledge and technology, and improve research capacity in Ukraine through cooperation with partners such as Kaunas University of Technology, University of Glasgow, Riga Technical University, and Intelligentsia Consultants SARL
