Four national R+D+I projects under the “retos investigación” call start this summer. The grant for these research projects include oriented investigations as well as their applications in later phases of technological development and experimentation. The granted projects are:
- 3DPROGRESS addresses the development of advanced ceramic 3D printing technologies for a cost-effective and time efficient mass manufacturing customization of highly complex devices for energy conversion technologies.
- CELL2WIN will develop a new generation of cost efficient and robust (semi)transparent PV devices with tuneable optical properties in a wide range of visible transparency values.
- COMBENERGY wil explore the combination of thermal energy with light and electricity, with an special focus on the use of solar radiation as heat and/or light sources.
The projects will last for 3 years from 2020 until 2022. They are aimed at solving one of the 8 great societal challenges described in the “Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación” 2017-2020: clean, efficient and safe energy.
