Dresden and online
20. September 2021 - 22. September 2021
After a successful pro flex 2019, we are delighted to announce the date of pro flex 2021 and to invite you to a highly interesting conference!
Roll-to-roll processing and coating of flexible materials like polymer films, metal foils, ultra-thin glass, membranes, and textiles is a growing industry and an essential process step in the production of a wide variety of important industrial products, like packaging films, solar control window films, batteries and capacitors, as well as photovoltaic and lighting modules.
From September 21 – 22, 2021, a colorful conference program on current issues in research and practice of roll-to-roll technology awaits you. For the second time, the conference program is complemented by an afternoon tutorial on roll-to-roll technologies on September 20.
For a deeper insight, we have prepared a list of presentations which were held at the previous pro flex conferences.
If you have any questions, please contact proflex@fep.fraunhofer.de
We are looking forward to your participation in pro flex 2021.
Sincerely,
Nicolas Schiller Annett Arnold

The pro flex 2021 and the tutorial will be taking place online as well as on-site at the Fraunhofer FEP in Dresden on terms that it agrees with the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
Through our online format we will be able to extend our community regardless of health issues or travel restrictions, but every online participant will still get the full pro flex experience. You will be able to listen to all presentations and meet all participants during an online evening event on September 20. Furthermore, you will be able to take part in the online equivalent of the on-site get-together on September 21 and in our online lab tour on September 22.
Participants on-site can expect the highest possible safety standard to enjoy the conference and lab tour without worries. We will limit the number of on-site participants to 45, in order to ensure that you can keep the recommended distance of 1.5 m. The on-site participation includes our traditional evening get-together in a pleasant atmosphere on September 21. Additional to the face-to-face discussions, you will be able to connect with the online participants during an online evening event on September 20 and during the conference.
