SMART PAPER ADVENTURES

Partner Call open until: 31.12.2025

Project Start: Q1 2026

The main challenges and topics of investigation are:

• Integration of printed electronic components (such as sensors, LEDs, touch circuits, or flexible batteries) into children’s books and games.
• Development of conductive inks and printing methods for safe, child-friendly applications.
• Development of low-cost, flexible printed circuits suitable for embedding in paper or cardboard materials.
• Testing and optimizing circuit layouts for power efficiency, reliability, sensitivity, and ease of integration into printed materials.
• Consideration of Recyclability, Ecodesign and Made in Europe Strategies.

• A functional prototype of an interactive children’s book or game integrating printed electronic components such as sensors or LEDs.
• Demonstrated feasibility of embedding low-cost, flexible printed circuits into paper-based products without compromising safety, usability, or eco credentials.
• Optimized printing and circuit design processes for combined screen printing / electronic integration / offset printing.
