The HELIOS consortium is pleased to announce the release of its second Annual Newsletter (No. 2, November 2026). The new issue presents the project’s latest scientific achievements, research activities, training initiatives and international cooperation under the Horizon Europe programme (Grant Agreement No. 101155017).
It covers the project’s second year of work toward research excellence in white-emitting organic lighting systems (WOLEDs and WLEDs). The issue also reports on stronger institutional research capacity at Lviv Polytechnic National University and on support for early-career researchers. The work involves the full consortium: Lviv Polytechnic National University (Ukraine), Kaunas University of Technology (Lithuania), University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), Riga Technical University (Latvia) and Intelligentsia Consultants SARL (Luxembourg).
6peer-reviewed papers published in 2025–2026
90+researchers trained by HELIOS
35participants in the Horizon Europe Twinning training
5partner countries in the consortium
Highlights of the Newsletter
The second edition covers key achievements and activities from late 2025 through August 2026 and shows how the HELIOS research network has continued to grow:
Scientific Achievements and Innovation
Progress in organic lighting technologies, including six peer-reviewed publications and doping-free OLEDs with stable warm-white emission and external quantum efficiency of up to 8.23%.
HELIOS Summer School 2026 (Palanga, Lithuania)
An international training and networking event on 24–28 August 2026, held together with the AMT 2026 conference. It brought together all consortium partners to review results, train researchers and plan new proposals.
Research Capacity Building
Targeted training on Horizon Europe opportunities, research management and proposal development. This included a Twinning training attended by 35 participants and the new Monthly Review of Grant Proposals.
International Cooperation and Recognition
Participation in international conferences, research exchanges and scientific events, including NANO-2026 and UK–UA STEM PRO. Early-career researcher Nataliia Kuzyk received the Best Poster Award at AMT 2026.
Science Communication and Public Engagement
The official HELIOS presentation video and the “HELIOS: New Light on Science” podcast series were launched. HELIOS also took part in the Lviv Polytechnic Science Fair and ran school outreach activities that introduce young audiences to organic electronics and photonics.
Advancing Research Excellence and International Collaboration
Throughout its second year, HELIOS has continued to strengthen scientific cooperation between Ukraine and its European partners. The project combines innovative research with researcher training, academic mobility and knowledge exchange.
Particular attention has gone to supporting early-career researchers and raising their international scientific visibility. HELIOS also continues to build sustainable research and innovation capacity at Lviv Polytechnic National University.
