OntoTrans

OntoTrans provides an intelligent system that uses machine learning and semantic reasoning to enable end users to represent challenges in their manufacturing process in a standard ontological form and to connect them with relevant information sources and materials modelling solutions. This approach optimises materials and process design, making the manufacturing industry more adaptive and competitive. OntoTrans provides smart targeted guidance through the whole translation process: from the initial innovation case specification to actual materials modelling workflows with related validation, verification and uncertainty quantifications to deliver a complete experience to companies. OntoTrans can be fully integrated into existing and emerging developments in materials and manufacturing, including integration with digital materials modelling marketplaces and open simulation platforms. Its footing on the European Materials Modelling Ontology ensures wide interoperability and standardisation. Picture1

NanoMECommons

NanoMECommons will establish a transnational and multidisciplinary research and innovation network to tackle the problem of nanomechanical materials characterisation in multiple industries. The focus of NanoMECommons is to employ innovative nano-scale mechanical testing procedures in real industrial environments, by developing harmonised and widely accepted characterisation methods, with reduced measurement discrepancy, and improved interoperability and traceability of data. To achieve this goal, NanoMECommons will offer protocols for multi-technique, multi-scale characterisations of mechanical properties in a range of industrially relevant sectors, together with novel tools for data sharing and wider applicability across NMBP domain: reference materials, specific ontologies and standardised data documentation.

CHARISMA

The CHARISMA Project (Characterisation and HARmonisation for Industrial Standardisation of Advanced MAterials) is set to harmonise Raman Spectroscopy for characterisation across the life cycle of a material, from product design and manufacture to lifetime performance and end-of-life stage. The project will demonstrate the feasibility of its concept in three industry cases. In the long term, it aims to make Raman spectroscopy a widespread technology used within the Industry Commons concept. CHARISMA_Logo%20%282%29

Development of High-Efficiency Third-Generation Photovoltaic Materials and Architectures to Strengthen the Competitiveness of the Green Energy Production Sector

The 3GPV-4INDUSTRY project aspires to strengthen entrepreneurship in the field of third-generation photovoltaics by developing new innovative technologies that will lead to the creation of new market-ready products, while also addressing the needs of both industry and society for novel ideas in the energy sector. The principal Investigator (PI) for University of Ioannina is Prof. Elefterios Lidorikis, while the research team comprises of distinct members of the academic community divided in three research groups:

  • Computational Materials Science Laboratory : Prof. Elefterios Lidorikis, Assoc. Prof. Dimitrios Papagewrgiou, Assist. Prof. Ioannis Skarmoutsos, PhD Student
  • Polymers Laboratory : Prof. Apostolos Auvgeropoulos, PostDoc Researcher Athanasios Katsouras and PostDoc Researcher Ioannis Moutsios.
  • Soft Matter Physics Laboratory : Prof. Georgios Floudas, PhD Student

To implement the project, the adopted methodology will be based on the further development of research outcomes and mature technologies from the consortium partners, who possess high-level expertise in third-generation photovoltaic technologies and photoactive materials. The goal is to reach sufficient technological maturity for exploitation by both the Greek and European production ecosystems.

In addition, 3GPV-4INDUSTRY will allocate resources throughout the project duration to inform the business community about the results and to take the initial steps toward market uptake and commercialization. The project consortium is composed of institutions with strong specialization in the fields of photoactive materials and third-generation photovoltaic cells, and is well-positioned to successfully carry out this ambitious initiative.

The structure of the project has been designed in alignment with the expertise of each research team to ensure the maximum outcome in terms of developing third-generation PV technologies that can be efficiently adopted by relevant industrial stakeholders. To this end, a significant number of young researchers will be engaged across the project teams, with a clear commitment to gender balance. More specifically, the five work packages include a bidirectional collaboration between two sub-groups within the consortium: one focusing on perovskite PVs and the other on purely organic PVs. These two technologies have reached a level of technological maturity such that proposals for their further development are now considered highly realistic. EMVLIMATIKI
