TIDE is a DFG-funded Research Training Group providing a comprehensive doctoral education program in the field of Organic Electronics. Our team of more than 13 expert researchers strengthens TIDE in terms of breath, complexity and interdisciplinarity coming from different disciplines like Physical, Organic, and Theoretical Chemistry, as well as Physics and Materials Science, and is located at at the two universities University of Cologne, and University Bonn.

Our three-years doctoral projects, which align to five different research focus areas, are complemented with a training program. Here we deepen the scientific knowledge, as well as supplement the fellows with a professional skills program, such as the certified "Bench-to-Business" program. On top, the three-months research residence abroad is a key element to enlarge the individual international network. TIDE is organized in a cohort system with a comprehensive support structure.
