Workshop
The workshop takes place Tuesday – Wednesday June 16th – 17th. It has the overall aim to promote the use of the latest research and development results, by bringing together the foremost experts from both academia and industry. The focus lies on the use of wide bandgap materials (WBG) technology in power electronics applications, components, modules, packaging, reliability and benchmarking versus silicon power electronics.
The program is defined by WBG experts and reflects the status of WBG from an industry point of view. Specialists from all over the world will present their views on status, ongoing development and the opportunities of applications in the power electronics area. They will also present the latest products and solutions and will be available for detailed technical discussions.
The workshop will be held at Skogshem & Wijk Konferens Event, Lidingö.
