It is all about UV LEDs – the variety of their applications, trends, and novel developments. The international conference ‘UV LED Technologies & Applications’ brings together experts from science and industry as well as developers and users to crosslink and to discuss the related issues. The conference will be held from April 22 to 25, 2018 in Berlin, Germany. Abstracts for lectures and poster presentations can now be submitted online via www.iuva.org/BerlinConference until November 15, 2017.
 
Commercial relevance of UV LEDs is increasing; since the devices are gaining maturity they become more and more attractive for broad industrial use. Due to their manifold applications, they open up new markets, and innovative products can be developed. At the international conference, the state of the art of UV LED technology, integration of UV LEDs into modules and systems as well as and their application in industry and research are discussed. One focus here is on technically challenging short-wave UVC LEDs, which can be used, for example, in water treatment and disinfection. The conference is organized jointly by the German consortium ‘Advanced UV for Life’ and the ‘International Ultraviolet Association’.
 
Abstracts for oral and poster presentations can be submitted (deadline: November 15, 2017) online via www.iuva.org/BerlinConference, related to the following topics:
