About EPCI
The European Passive Component Institute (EPCI) was established in July 2015 with the objective of building bridges between European passive component manufacturers, test houses and universities, and the end users of passive components. Its aim is to foster awareness of the European passive component industry and to provide better visibility to small enterprises with new and innovative ideas. There are also many ongoing projects at Universities that are practically unknown to the industry, and test houses with special capabilities that warrant more attention. EPCI has established several open projects in order to support the passive component industry through web-based electronics channels such as:
- European Passive Industry Database (currently more than 120 entries)
- e-PassiveBook – an online passive components handbook
- e-Symposium. – an online technical article database
EPCI cooperates closely with ESA, the European Space Agency and other academic and industrial organisations on passive component projects. EPCI has been invited to serve on the programme committee for the upcoming ESA 2nd Space Passive Components Days, which will be held at ESTEC in October 2016.
