The Advancing Printing and Coating Network (APN) is an industrial research group supported by the Welsh Centre for Printing and Coating (WCPC). The APN provides an opportunity for industry to be involved and gain benefit from the latest research being carried out at the WCPC. The APN has a number of on-going activities in areas such as printed electronics, bio sensors, commercial printing and packaging across all of the print processes.

As part of the program of events for 2014, the research meeting will consist of a series of 30 minute presentations to explain specific aspects of the work in detail and 10 minute overview presentations designed as project updates. The format has been calculated to ensure that delegates have the ability to gain benefit from a one off attendance or allow APN Members to keep up with on-going work. Time has also been set aside to provide opportunities for peer to peer networking as well as interaction with the research staff.
