Help us evaluate project proposals. The European Commission is looking for experienced professionals to evaluate and recommend proposals for funding under the H2020 Energy Efficiency Call for Proposals in the area of Heating and Cooling. You can enter your CV at any time, but note that until 31st October we will be selecting the long list of experts for the upcoming round of evaluations in spring 2017. Want to get some tips and more about the profiles we are looking for?
Graphene has been heralded to revolutionise high-tech industry thanks to its ground-breaking physical and mechanical properties. Since it was discovered in 2004, the wonder material has attracted interest from industry across the board, but its potential has so far reached few concrete applications on the market. SME Instrument champion Skeleton Technologies has cracked the challenge and found an application for graphene in its high-power ultracapacitors.
