About us

Advanced UV for Life Association is an European-based industry- and science-oriented organization dedicated to fostering the development and application of eco-friendly UV technologies. The association brings together industry partners, research institutions, standardization & regulation authorities, and end-users to promote collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovation in the field of UV technologies. Advanced UV for Life advocates for the responsible and sustainable use of UV applications to address global challenges in healthcare, environmental protection, research, and industrial production.

Cooperation exchange

Through collaboration and information exchange, we accelerate the development of semiconductor-based UV devices such as:

UV LEDs
UV sensors
UV photodiodes
UV laser diodes
UV sources and module

and their application in the fields of:

disinfection of water, air and surfaces
medical technologies and diagnostics
environmental technologies and life sciences
photochemistry and manufacturing techniques
analytics and sensor technology.

Close coordination between the developer and the end user is an important prerequisite for the rapid implementation of innovative ideas in the different fields of application. Our association facilitates this close coordination by providing a forum to initiate technological developments and research projects and to discuss technological and scientific issues through a variety of online and face-to-face events on a national and international level throughout the year.

Association of interests

To ensure that environmentally friendly and economical UV technologies become more widely accepted and understood, the association aims to provide the general public, political decision makers and media outlets with comprehensive information on new technologies, products and services.

It also participates in expert panels and committees to help initiate legislation, standards and other regulations. This is crucial for the market access of UV devices and UV technologies. The association also represents the common interests of its members on the science-policy level.
