The workshop, Fundamental Research Needs in Organic Electronic Materials, jointly sponsored by DOE Basic Energy Sciences (BES) and EERE/BT was held on May 23-25, 2003 at the University of Utah Campus in Salt Lake City, Utah for the purpose of identifying key scientific issues enabling the technological success of these materials. Approximately thirty key experts and world leaders in organic materials chemistry, transport physics, time-resolved and steady stated optical processes, organic spintronics, and device technology, gathered to stimulate new and revolutionary sciences.
