We are excited to announce a funding opportunity for innovative research projects that explore the use of emerging materials, or novel applications of existing materials, for digital devices. This funding call seeks to support ground-breaking projects that integrate materials into interactive systems to transform how we design, interact with, and experience technology.
New and emerging materials will drive innovation in digital devices. However, there is currently a significant gulf between those with expertise in developing new materials and those who can deploy those materials into the design of novel interactive devices. Outside of large multi-national companies, this gulf presents an insurmountable challenge for most designers. The overarching goal of this call is to reduce the entry barrier to exploring and using emerging materials.
This webinar will provide further information about the call and allow time for interested applicants to have their questions answered. We strongly encourage anyone planning to apply for the call to attend. Please register using the link on the top right of this page to attend on Zoom.
Additional information about the call and the application form can be found on the Materials for Digital Devices webpage.
