“I really enjoyed ESREF in Aalborg and was very pleased with all the arrangements and the overall logistical organization of the conference at this beautiful location. I should say it was a roaring success with a record number of submissions, exhibitors and a beautifully planned out program with adequate opportunities for technical interactions and social networking. I hope to attend ESREF more consistently in the years to come and look forward to more learning experiences there with different cultural connections to different parts of Europe!”

Nagarajan Raghavan (IPFA Co-Chair, SUTD, Singapore)



“I had a great time at ESREF 2018. I learned a lot from the technical talks especially on the GaN reliability. I got chance to network with many other researchers/engineers from academia and industries. The social event at Voergaard Castle was also very well organized, served with a great food and very entertaining shows. Overall, I can say ESREF 2018 was a great success. Congratulations to all the organizers! Looking forward to attend ESREF 2019”
