PV-STAR |
| PV-STAR forms part of the Defis Clés Occitanie programme, which was initiated and is funded by the Occitanie Region with the objective of stimulating regional research into the energy transition. Solar energy is a vital component of the decarbonisation process and has made significant headway. However, challenges remain before it can be widely adopted. PV-STAR is a pivotal initiative in this regard, exploring new solutions. Multidisciplinary research is focused on non-standard conditions for solar energy utilisation, including high concentrations, extreme temperatures, degraded environments and space. This integrates technological, economic, environmental and social aspects. | |

SOLARIZE |
| The SOLARIZE project intends to enhance the long-term sustainability of the EU-SOLARIS ERIC by successfully achieving its general objectives: enlargement of the membership; further involvement of R&D institutes and national funding institutions at the National Nodes; educating new researchers to make appropriate use of the RIs; reinforcement of international cooperation and of science diplomacy; improvement of the managerial skills of its staff; strengthen the interaction between industrial stakeholders and CST researchers; increase of the general awareness of other possible applications of CST RIs, e.g. industrial process heat; development of new standards and testing protocols; creation of the first e-infrastructure providing Remote/Virtual access to the R&D centres; study of best ways to combine CST with other energy sources and last but not least, targeting the greening of technologies and methodologies used by the CST RIs. |
