FIRST StoRIES International Researcher Exchange Programme CALL
IREP Call No.: 1
Date of opening: 31.10.2022.
Date of closing: Deadline extended to 15.02.2023.
Call topic: Materials Acceleration Platforms (MAPs) and related technologies for improving Energy Storage Applications
The call topic envisages all activities that support the development of components/software or research on Materials Accelerations Platforms (MAPs) related to energy storage materials or technologies. This includes the production of energy storage carriers such as hydrogen, but not electricity.
Proposals focusing on materials research should demonstrate the innovation potential of the selected material types for energy storage technologies. Proposal with the background to optimise the operation of MAPs have to demonstrate the benefits for European material research facilities or planned research facilities. It is also possible to submit proposal with the background to generate data for the MAPs’ Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems, e.g. generate materials modelling data for the MAPs’ AI materials optimiser system.
The proposals should include a short sustainability-oriented assessment regarding e.g. the use of critical raw materials, possible environmental and economic impacts over the entire life cycle of the materials under consideration.
To apply for the call please use the application form available here.
Only proposals submitted by the 15st of January will be evaluated.
