From May 25 to 27, international experts will meet in Stockholm to share their expertise, recent developments and visions of SiC electronics applications. More than an overview on SiC industry, the International SiC Power Electronics Applications Workshop (ISiCPEAW) proposes a focus on power electronics applications. The event also includes an exhibition area, a poster session and networking opportunities with business-to-business (B2B) matchmaking.

Workshop
The overall aim of the workshop is to promote the use of the latest silicon carbide research and development results, by bringing together the foremost experts from both academia and industry. The focus lies on the use of SiC technology in power electronics applications, components, modules, packaging, reliability and benchmarking versus silicon power electronics. The program is defined by SiC experts and reflects the status of SiC from an industry point of view. Specialists from all over the world will present their views on current status, ongoing development and the opportunities of applications in the power electronic area. They will also present the latest products and solutions, and will be available for detailed technical discussions.

Exhibition
More than just a conference, the ISiCPEAW event includes debates and numerous networking opportunities throughout the entire workshop. An exhibition area dedicated to the experts of the SiC industry is set up by the organizers.

Poster Session
The poster session will present the latest results in the application oriented R&D. The posters will be available for viewing and discussions during the entire workshop in the designated area. We invite posters from participants and their host organisations, as well as from the NetFISiC program. Please send the posters in electronic form to the contact person preferrably before the 1st of May 2014. Notice of acceptance will be send to the authors before the 14th of May 2014. Contributions are welcome as long as the allotted space permits.

B2B Matchmaking
A business to business (B2B) matchmaking is arranged by Enterprise Europe Network. The matchmaking is a platform for discussion and exchange between research, product development and application. All participants will have the opportunity to book One-on-One meetings. This is a quick and easy way to meet with potential cooperation partners. Please note: Participation in the B2B Matchmaking is free of charge, however it requires a Workshop registration.

Venue
This event, with the exception of the tutorial, will take place at Skogshem & Wijk, beautifully located at Lidingö, an island in the Stockholm archipelago, 20 minutes from the city center. 180 hotel rooms are pre-reserved for workshop attendees at this venue, from Sunday til Tuesday. Please contact the hotel for your personal reservation, and say that you are an ISiCPEAW participant.

Tutorial
The tutorial will take place at Swerea KIMAB, Isafjordsgatan 28A in Kista, Sunday May 25th, preceding the two-day workshop. The course will cover the subjects of SiC device design and operation, packaging technology, system applications and device driver issues. Participatants are also welcome to a barbecue buffet dinner at Skogshem & Wijk on Sunday Evening.
