ECPE Objectives & Mission
• Precompetitive Joint Research in Power Electronic Systems
- ECPE Projects with focus on automotive & industrial power electronic systems as well as renewable energies and electronic power grids
- EC or national funded research projects with partners from the Network
• Education & Advanced Training
- Expert workshops and tutorials for engineers in industry
- ECPE online course ´Power Electronics´
• Public Relations & Lobbying for Power Electronics
Have “one strong voice” of power electronics industry to public & politics
ECPE Mission As the Industry-driven Power Electronics Research Network covering the value chain from the materials and components to the systems and applications ECPE strengthens the cooperation between Power Electronics industry and universities & research centres on a European level.
As the European Technology and Innovation Platform in power electronics we are driving precompetitive joint research and we set up research & technology roadmaps for a strategic research agenda in Europe with future research directions according to the demands of European power electronics industry.
With one strong voice of the power electronics community to the public and to politics we create awareness for the role and importance of power electronics regarding the megatrends in society e.g. energy efficiency, use of renewable energies, electronic power grids and e-mobility.

ECPE Network Meeting in October 2016
´Trends in Power Electronics and in the ECPE Network´
Basic structure of the sessions: one keynote, 2-3 short presentations with key statements, discussion with speakers and audience
The key idea of the ECPE Network Meeting is to have a networking platform for exchange and discussion of trends and future topics together with Member companies & Competence Centres
History of ECPE Network Meetings:
- Nov. 2011 in Feldkirchen: Overview on European Research Projects
- Jan. 2014 in Ismaning: ECPE Roadmap Programme (Kick-off Meeting)
- March 2015 in Ismaning: ECPE Activities & Roadmap Final Meeting
