Short presentation of the SMASH project
SMASH (Smart Nanostructured Semiconductors for Energy-Saving Light Solutions) is a research project supported by the European Commission under contract number 228999 in the 7th Framework Programme. The overall goal of SMASH is to establish new materials solutions and process technologies based on nanostructured compound semiconductors, i.e. GaN, for low-cost, power-efficient light sources for the general lighting market.
The project is coordinated by OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbH (Germany) and brings together complementary expertise from across Europe. 14 partners from large industry, SMEs, research institutions and universities with established and productive collaborations will participate in the project.
