European Rare Earth Magnet Recycling Network (EREAN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

"Because China dominates the rare-earth market and is reducing its export quota, there is a very high supply risk for rare earths in Europe. To tackle this rare-earth crisis, Europe needs to invest in primary mining, substitution and, in particular, urban mining/recycling. To date, less than 1% of the rare earths are being recycled, due to, amongst others, a lack of efficient recycling technologie ...

(International) Socio-Technical Challenges for implementing geological disposal (INSOTEC)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

InSOTEC aims at identifying the main socio-political challenges for implementing geological disposal and their interplay with technical challenges. It will furthermore provide the IGD-TP with concrete suggestions on how to address these entangled socio-technical challenges.The biggest challenge today lies in adapting the generic concept of geological disposal to the real world environment (both na ...

Implementing Public Participation Approaches in Radioactive Waste Disposal (IPPA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The focus of IPPA is on the establishment of arenas where different stakeholders can move forward together to increase their understanding of the issues involved in radioactive waste disposal and of their respective views. The focus is on implementation in some central and eastern European countries. The overall structure is in one end to take stock of existing research results and other experienc ...

Next generation solar cell and module laser processing systems (SOLASYS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

Laser processes provide manufacturing solutions with minimum mechanical and thermal influence on the processed product due to their selective energy control and deposition and generally high processing speed. With this advantages they are already well established for some processing steps in the current production of solar cells. High speed laser ablation is used for the isolation of the emitter f ...

Contextualising behavioural change in energy programmes involving intermediaries and policymaking organizations working towards changing BEHAVIOUR (CHANGING BEHAVIOUR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

This project aims to support the shift toward end-user services in European energy policy. It will (1) develop a sophisticated but practical model of end-user behaviour and stakeholder interaction (2) integrate knowledge of context (e.g., national culture and institutions), timing and actors into demand management practice (3) pilot the transfer of context-tailored demand side programmes from one ...
