MEGA project recognised for "great commitment and good work" in EC's final assessment

24 April 2024

Administrated by Intelligentsia Consultants, the MEGA project was recently recognised for "great commitment and good work" in the European Commission's final assessment.

Funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, the MEGA project was a five-year (2019-2023) research and innovation collaboration between European and International partners, coordinated by Kaunas University of Technology.

In the frame of the project, two types of organic electroactive materials were studied:

(1) Fluorescence materials exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) for use in OLEDs in displays and lighting devices .
(2) Fluorescent materials with low thresholds for amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) for use in organic lasers in spectroscopy and telecommunication.

These kinds of organic heavy metal free fluorescent materials show exceptional potential for use in new-generation light sources, such as organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) and organic lasers. These new materials can enable organic electronic devices to be constructed with higher efficiency, simpler device structures, lower fabrication costs, and reduced environmental impact.

During the project, the MEGA partners made almost 330 months of secondments across the consortium.
