Research in nanomaterials is expected to provide critical contributions to the advancement in energy technologies and to address the important issue of sustainability. Progress in these cross-disciplinary areas can be best achieved through coordinated and cooperative actions. This event provided a unique opportunity for those involved in research (including funding and policy) in Europe and India to identify synergies and mutual needs to push forward progress and provide benefits for both regions.
Workshop Objectives:
•To support strategic assessment of the regions’ nano-materials research and researcher’s training needs •To encourage exchange of ideas and strengthen relationships between leading researchers •To discuss possibilities for joint research projects, training actions and identify other research needs
Audience: Senior scientists, industry leaders, representatives from funding agencies, policy makers and other stake holders.
School Objectives:
•To educate interested students and to train young researchers and engineers Audience: PhD students and young scientists.
Topics:
• EU & India’s energy research and policy landscape • Opportunities for international collaboration • Applications of Nanomaterials for − energy conversion (Fuel cells & Hydrogen) − energy storage (Batteries & Supercapacitors) − solar energy (Photovoltaics and Solar thermal) − carbon capture and storage (CO2 sequestration)
