FITNESS
1 April 2023 to 31 March 2026
FITNESS aims to develop thin, flexible smart skins able to provide a non-contact sense of “touch”. The underlying key technology is that of meta-surfaces, i.e. structured surfaces that have unusual properties at some frequencies. The approach combines a variety of fields: RF front-end circuits, chemistry and polymer materials, flexible substrates, silicon integration, phased array antennas,…

CIRCULAIR
1 January 2023 to 31 December 2026
Achieving climate neutrality in Europe requires large volumes of sustainable fuels for transport sectors like aviation. The EU-funded CIRCULAIR project will design an integrated pathway that produces cost-effective aviation biofuels based on hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of abundant agricultural residues. Key innovations of CIRCULAIR involve a close thermal coupling of HTL conversion with exothermic wet oxidation…

D-STANDART
1 January 2023 to 31 December 2025
Advanced composites are gaining ground in many areas, especially aerospace, automotive and renewable energy, as they are lightweight and help save energy. What is still missing are accurate and fast pre-production methods to optimise the durability of such large-scale composite structures. Therefore, D-STANDART aims to develop efficient methods for modelling the durability of large-scale composite…
