Meeting the UV LED Community: ICULTA 2021 =E2=80=93 The International C= onference on UV LED Technologies & Applications

Press Release: Berlin, March 25, 2021

ICULTA 2021 = is getting closer =E2=80=93 the forum for state-of-the art know-how and inn= ovations in UV LED technologies and their multiple applications. From April= 19 to 20, 2021, experts from all over the world will present and disc= uss latest results in UV LED development, irradiation systems based on UV L= EDs as well as their use in industry and research. The conference and accom= panying exhibition will be held online.

=E2=80=9CWe are delighted to = welcome the international UV LED community to discuss challenges in bringin= g UV LEDs into applications=E2=80=9D, says Sven Einfeldt, Head of the GaN O= ptoelectronics Lab at Ferdinand-Braun-Institut in Berlin and representative= of the German consortium =E2=80=98Advanced UV for Life=E2=80=99. ICULTA ad= dresses participants from academia and companies working along the complete= value chain, from UV LED manufacturing to system development for the multi= ple applications of these semiconductor devices up to standardization activ= ities. =E2=80=9CStandardization is a key topic in the commercialization of = UV LEDs=E2=80=9D, explains Oliver Lawal, CEO of Aquisense Technologies and = immediate Past-President of the International Ultraviolet Association. =E2= =80=9COnce this is mastered, the wide range of applications for UV LEDs can= be fully exploited=E2=80=9D.

Comprehensive program plus a special focus on fighting the coronavirus

The ICULTA 2021 program features over 50 lectures by inter= nationally recognized speakers and close to 40 poster presentations. Due to= the ongoing, global pandemic, a special focus is on how UV LEDs can succes= sfully combat the coronavirus. To address this highly topical issue, the pr= ogram chairs Jutta Eggers (TZW: DVGW - Technologiezentrum Wasser, German Wa= ter Centre) and Markus Weyers (Ferdinand-Braun-Institut) have organized a s= pecial program including two plenary talks, a SARS-CoV-2 session, and two a= dditional sessions on disinfection and purification. =E2=80=9CFinally, this= topic is completed by the joint plenary session =E2=80=98Regulation and St= andardization of UV LED Disinfection Systems=E2=80=99=E2=80=9D, highlights = Jutta Eggers.

Sessions on UV curing, analytics plus medical, food, an= d biotech applications are also part of the conference. The ICULTA program = is as diverse as the multifaceted UV LED applications. The conference progr= am also addresses current challenges and limitations. =E2=80=9CThere are st= ill wavelength and efficiency limitations of current deep-UV LEDs that we w= ant to explore with ICULTA participants=E2=80=9D, Markus Weyers adds.

In an accompanying virtual exhibition, companies and organizations present= their products and services around UV LED technologies and applications. A= matchmaking service is additionally offered to facilitate networking among= conference attendees. In this way, ICULTA continues to meet its ambition: = Bringing together experts from science and industry to crosslink and to dis= cuss the state-of-the-art in UV LED development and their broad spectrum of= applications.
