Searching new materials for energy applications is one of the main concerns in the international scientific community. And nanostructured materials are extensively studied for mobile phones or renewable energy, due to its lower cost and the beneficial effect on the climate-change problematic.
Within this trend, a research group of the College of Physical Sciences (Complutense University of Madrid) has a great deal of authority. Headed by professor Anna Cremades, the team is developing, alongside the Norwegian Institute for Energy Technology, a project for “designing new sustainable materials” for energy production and storage, cofinanced by the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism. The ultimate goal is, given the increasing global demand for energy, to improve sustainable energy processes.
In order to present their results and the latest advances in this field, the research group organizes the International Summer School on Nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications within the Complutense Summer School in El Escorial, between 29th June-3rd July. Grants for accommodation and registration of students are available.
This summer school is cofinanced by the EEA Grants within the Bilateral Relations chapter of the NILS Science and Sustainability Programme, operated by Complutense University of Madrid. With 4 million euros budget, the objective is to foster students and research mobility between Spain, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
