New innovative solutions, components and tools for the integration of wind energy in urban and peri-urban areas (SWIP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2017,
European Commission plans for wind energy development by 2020, highlights a fully competitive onshore wind power with 20% penetration. One of the better opportunities to fulfil this aim is the integration of small and medium wind turbines into urban and peri-urban environments, due to the potential market given. However, nowadays there are several barriers) that have relegated the Small Wind Turbi ...

Drastically reduced use of rare earths in applications of magnetocalorics (DRREAM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
"We will examine the life cycle of rare earth metals used in magnetic phase change technologies. Our primary focus is on room temperature magnetic cooling, a near-market solid state alternative to gas compression in which a phase change “magnetocaloric” material is magnetised by a permanent magnet. We will address the fabrication, manufacture and use of the magnetocaloric material, aiming: (1) ...

Replacement and Original Magnet Engineering Options (ROMEO)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
Permanent magnets are vital components in an enormous number of domestic and industrial devices, and they are particularly crucial within the rapidly-developing renewable energy sector, where the motors for electric vehicles and the generators in wind turbines require strong magnets with the ability to operate at temperatures well over 100°C. Currently, these magnets are based on the rare earth el ...

RARE EARTH FREE PERMANENT MAGNETS (REFREEPERMAG)
Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2015,
"This proposal aims at developing a new generation of novel materials for high performance permanent magnets (PM) with energy product 60 kJ/m3 5) nanostructures by environmentally friendly synthesis methods and b) using high-throughput (HT) thin film synthesis and characterization techniques to identify new PM candidate phases. The first strategy, through the control of the nanostructure will le ...

Improving the gender diversity management in materials research institutions (DIVERSITY)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
DIVERSITY is a 36 months CSA (Supporting) project involving 14 partners from 11 European countries (Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Slovenia, UK, Slovakia, Greece). It represents a pilot initiative of networking policy makers, human resources experts, women scientists’ networks, and scientists to support the institutional culture change for a greater inclusiveness of women ...
