Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
The project aims to enhance research capacities on nanotechnology, multi-functional materials and advanced applications. Material innovations and advances are created on the multi-functional nano-composites concerning superionic conduction; hybrid H+/O2-conduction; nano-composite ionics; and next generation fuel cell technology.
The project objectives are:
- to extend the existing Turkish cooperation and Sino-Swedish IT/LTSOFC (intermediate and low temperature solid oxide fuel cell) network with prominent research institutions in EU; to network research cooperation and joint activities; to develop centres? infrastructure and research or innovation strategies;
- exchanging and sharing personnel, information, resources and research methodologies;
- training researchers and organizing the seminars, organize research plan and explore new research subjects on the related areas; senior researchers' visits to strength and develop research links with EU institutions, improve research methodologies and skills;
- various joint PhD and Postdoctoral programs build highly qualified, well-trained research team and bring new skills together; to expose centre fellows/scientists and students from different cultural and scientific background; through various means of supports to increase women students/scientists in the centre;
- enhancing its research infrastructures, thus, raising the capabilities and standards of the centre to EU level, mobilize the existing human and material resources in the centre, promoting the trans-tech. and research achievements to industry and to establish new ways of production research in cooperation with China and Turkey.
Attività svolta da ENEA
L'ENEA contribuisce ai seguenti work packages:
- 2 Elaborazione di un "data base" tecnico-scientifico comprendente anche un elenco di partner industriali eventualmente interessati ad azioni di "spin off" e alla futura commercializzazione di celle a combustibile innovative;
- 3 organizzazione di visite di ricercatori senior nei laboratori dei vari partner;
- 4 organizzazione di cinque workshops semestrali più un seminario per valutare lo stato di avanzamento delle attività'. ENEA organizzerà uno di tali workshop presso il Centro Casaccia.
