Lehner, Norbert

Norbert Lehner studied Physics in Würzburg and got his PhD there in 1978. During that time, he worked at the Nuclear Research Center in Karlsruhe (Germany) and – after his PhD – at the Institute Laue-Langevin in Grenoble (France). The focus of his scientific work was on Phase Transitions, Phonons and Magnons in Perovskite type crystals. In 1983, Norbert Lehner joined the Semiconductor Group of the Central Research Department of Siemens in Munich. Since its carve out from Siemens, he is working for Infineon Technologies.
Norbert Lehner was and is deeply involved in most of the large European co-operation programs, the Framework Programs of the European Commission as well as in the EUREKA programs JESSI, MEDEA and MEDEA+. Some of the major projects, he was involved in or leading, were on lithography and on the development of 300mm wafer technology.
Maiser, Eric

Eric Maiser received an MS degree in physics in 1993 and a PhD in solid state physics in 1997, both from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. As a researcher he worked on high-temperature superconductors at the University of Karlsruhe, the Research Center Karlsruhe, Germany, and at the University of Maryland, College Park, USA.
From 2002 on, Eric Maiser was appointed Managing Director of the electronics production equipment (“Productronics”) association within VDMA, the German Engineering Federation. More than 3000 industry members make VDMA the biggest industry association in Europe.
He was appointed one of the Managing Directors of the “German OLED Reference Line (DORAn) GmbH” with coordination responsibility from 2002 to 2008. Since 2007 he is also head of the VDMA Forum Photovoltaics Equipment, a cross-sectional collaboration of nine VDMA associations.
In his positions at VDMA, Eric Maiser is also member of a number of advisory boards.
