The SFERA-III project addresses advanced science challenges and integrated research activities in the field of Concentrating Solar Thermal (CST) by integrating key European research infrastructures.

The activities developed are: (i) networking activities to further develop the cooperation between the research infrastructures, the scientific community, industries and other stakeholders; (ii) transnational access activities aiming at providing access to all European researchers from both academia and industry to singular scientific and technological solar research infrastructures; and (iii) joint research activities whose sole purpose is to improve the integrated services provided by the infrastructure.

Project developed by Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency Unit (UEREE) and Materials for Energy Unit (UME) with the contribution of Materials and Coatings Laboratory (LMR) and Solar Energy Laboratory (LES).

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 823802.
