PEL becomes ECPE Competence Centre

Thanks to the support of industrial members of the ECPE network, Power Electronics Laboratory of EFPL has been recognized and integrated into the ECPE as a new Competence Centre. Being an active member of the ECPE network will further strengthen our links with European industrial and academic partners, offering great potential for future research collaborations, educational activities and promotion of the role and importance of power electronics. 

ECPE - European Center for Power Electronics - was founded in 2003 by eight industrial enterprises as an industry-driven Research Network for Power Electronics in Europe. In the meantime the network comprises more than 70 member companies. Furthermore, more than 70 European universities and research institutes are integrated in the network as so called Competence Centres. This is one of the largest industrial and research network for power electronics in Europe. The objective of the ECPE is to promote education, innovation, science, research and technology transfer in the area of Power Electronics in Europe.
