Project description
Improving Portugal’s energy harvesting and management capacity
Training and the transfer of expertise in the area of energy harvesting and management are key components towards self-sustainable smart platforms on flexible substrates. The EU-funded SYNERGY project will boost the scientific and technical capacity of Portuguese institutions in the domain of energy harvesting and micropower management. To that end, it will link Portuguese academic and research institutions with leading European institutions in printed electronics, solar cells and batteries on foil, battery and supercapacitor development, energy integration and power management as well as materials, devices and systems analysis, validation and modelling. The project will encourage scientific excellence, leading to the establishment of new self-powered smart platforms entirely compatible with Portuguese institutions.
Objective
SYNERGY addresses the call TWINN-2018 (H2020-WIDESPREAD-2018-2020), aiming to strengthen the scientific and technical competences at the Portuguese institutions in the field of energy harvesting and micropower management as a key component towards self-sustainable smart platforms on flexible substrates. Therefore, proper training and expertise transfer in the field of energy harvesting and management is mandatory to complement and consolidate past activities at the widening institutions on low temperature, flexible and paper electronics. Driven by the quest for excellence, the Portuguese University and Research Institutions are so proposing to be linked with outstanding European institutions in the field of printed electronics, solar cells and batteries on foils (VTT); battery and supercapacitors developers (POLITO); energy integration and power management (Tyndall); and materials, devices and systems analysis, validation and modelling (FhG-IKTS). These institutions, with such valuable profiles will allow to complete the value chain for the scientific strategy of the Portuguese widening institutions.
This will stimulate scientific excellence and innovation capacity that will boost the development of new smart self-powered smart
platforms fully aligned with Portuguese national and regional research and innovation strategies, as it is the case of the recently
established collaborative laboratory AlmaScience related to “Paper Electronics”. Moreover, the project’s impact towards society and
stakeholders, will be conducted by SPI, which has a strong experience in this area, supported by the European Academy of Science, an excellent vehicle to bring academics together around the relevance of energy as crosscutting element for the strategy of the future of our society.
