ECPE Seminar Programme 2007
We are pleased to present to you the Seminar Programme 2007. Again, we can offer up-to-date topics in power electronics, in cooperation with first class experts acting as Technical Chairmen.
• Energy Efficiency – the Role of Power Electronics (7 Feb. 2007, Brussels)
• Sensors in Power Electronics (14-15 March 2007, Erlangen/Nuremberg)
• Energy Storage Technologies (27-28 June 2007, Aachen)
• SiC User Forum II (6-7 Sept. 2007, Copenhagen)
• Virtual Prototyping in Power Electronics (9-10 Nov. 2007, Baden-Dättwil)
• Passive Components in Power Electronics – Materials, Technologies, Trends (22-23 Nov. 2007, Nuremberg)
Furthermore, the ECPE Network will start a Tutorial Programme where the focus is put more on education of young engineers and career changers. A course instructor together with one or two co-speakers will give the tutorial for a small group of 15-25 participants. The ECPE Tutorial Series will be opened by an event on ´Reliability of Power Electronic Systems´ with Prof. E. Wolfgang as course instructor.
The ECPE Programme of Events 2007 will start with a European Workshop on Energy Efficiency organised in cooperation with EPE Association to be held on 7 February 2007 in Brussels, highlighting the role of power electronics in energy saving and improved energy efficiency, especially for the background of the starting 7th Framework Programme. The impact of power electronics in saving electrical energy will be discussed for several key applications e.g. for drives, lighting and power supplies.

ECPE changed its name in EUROPEAN Center for Power Electronics e.V.
The General Meeting of ECPE e.V. decided on 21. October 2004 to change the name of the association into 'ECPE European Center for Power Electronics e.V.'. The amendment of the statute of ECPE e.V. became legally effective with the entry in the register of associations on 9 February 2005.
By changing the name into European Center for Power Electronics, ECPE continues on the way to establish an European Research Network for Power Electronics. For the ECPE Board as well as for the General Manager, this is stimulus and motivation to intensify and expand the contacts to industries and to leading university/research institutes in Europe.
