2^nd Webinar

After introducing the HaloFreeEtch project in our very successful first webinar, our second webinar will focus on the sustainability challenges in microelectronics. Two contributions from leading research institutions in Europe will highlight why we need to become more sustainable in electronics production.

• Dr. Cédric Rolin from IMEC will discuss emerging strategies and innovations aimed at reducing the ecological footprint of semiconductor chip manufacturing.
• Prof. Edeltraut Guenther from UNU-Flores and TU Dresden will add her perspective as a globally recognized expert in environmental management and sustainability assessment. She will also introduce the new cluster of excellence REC2 which is now installed at TU Dresden to create the scientific basis of Responsible Electronics in the Climate Change Era.
• The third speaker, Dr. Gertrude Kignelman, will represent Centexbel, a Belgian competence centre for the European textile and plastics industries. She will add the perspective of another industry, the textile industry, on how it is moving away from halogen-containing substances through innovation.
