The Autumn School took place in St Andrews, Scotland over four days with all of the network and several external partners in attendance. The network meeting was opened with a presentation entitled "Development of Stable Blue OLED's and understanding TADF mechanism based on Photophysical Kinetic Analysis" presented by Youichi Tsuchiya from Kyushu University (a TADFsolutions external partner).

In March 2024 the Spring School took place in Bordeaux, France. During the school the students received a lab tour around the Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymères Organiques at the University of Bordeaux, a consortium member. In addition the students received tutorials entitled "Phase behaviour and processing of blends and solutions” from Jasper Michels an external guest from the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research and "Emitter Orientation and optical modeling" from Dr Francisco Tenopala a guest from the consortium member the University of Cologne, Germany. 

In September 2023 the network met in Saronno (near Milan) for an Autumn School in addition to the Mid-Term Check meeting with the TADFsolutions EU Officer. During the network meeting the students took part in an Outreach training exercise in addition to receiving a lecture on "Engineering contacts and work functions through solution processing" held by TRDF an associated partner of the TADFsolutions Network. The final day of the Autumn meeting was focused on the mid-term check with the EU Officer. 

In March 2023 the Network met for the first time as a group (PhD students and Professors) in Valencia, Spain. During the meeting the students received training on "Device Modelling & Optimisation" held by Simbeyond, TuE and Fluxim. Additionally "Photophysics" lecutres were given by our Associated Partner Kyushu University and the Universite de Namur.

The international research network "TADFsolutions", coordinated by the University of Bayreuth, was recently launched. It is funded by the EU with a total of about 3.1 million euros over the next four years. The network aims to develop semiconductor materials for a new generation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). These are intended to show unprecedented luminosity and color purity, consume little energy and have a significantly longer lifetime than current commercially available light-emitting diodes.

In October 2022 the Professors from the various universities and companies in the TADFsolutions network met in Bayreuth for the first time. During the meeting the various administation points of the project were discussed in addition to the professors taking part in a "Train the Trainer" workshop.
