A Major Event for Young Materials Scientists from UNIMED Materials scientists learn about materials science in other countries The conference is organized by the young materials scientists Who should attend? The conference will focus primarily on Master s and PhD students. No restriction on the categories and ages for participants. Professors and industrial representatives are welcome as well.

49 Joint UNIMED / E-MRS Junior Conference series for Masters, PhD s and Engineers. Proposed thematic: energy, water, health in relation with materials. A conference like any other? JUNIOR UNIMED can be organised as a poster conference, i.e. every contribution will be on display as a poster. Each poster author is also required to introduce his or her poster orally in the lecture hall (3 minutes each) using 3 presentation slides. Subsequently, the authors will be available for further discussions in front of the poster panels. The sessions will be opened by keynote lectures. Where: South-Med countries (reaching more students; visa issues ) How to finance the events?? UNIMED, E-MRS,??

51 D. EUROPEAN COMMISSION CALLS H2020 WITH JOINT INVOLVEMENTS - Example 1: like EUROSUNMED - Example 2: ERASMUS+ Project Title: Strengthening Higher Education in the Field of Solar Energy in South-Mediterranean Countries by enhancing the links to business and applied research Project acronym: MEDSOL

52 Background - Rational Still 1.2 billion people (17%) live without electricity (World Bank) - 2/3 in rural areas of Africa and Asia Since 1990 the progress has been modest, and to achieve electricity for everyone by 2030, the expansion rate has to double In developed countries electricity demand is higher than supply and prices are increasing at high rates Overall, only about 20% of the electricity comes from renewable sources (EU and Worldwide) The EU share is expected to increase to 40% in 2020, and it may increase to 60% in 2030 and 90% in 2050, according to the EREC and others, in the World it will increase to 25% in 2018 (IEA) No single solution is expected to meet the demand, with several technologies operating in parallel, both at micro- and large-scale

53 Solar Electricity Production

54 Coming Proposals Be prepared for next calls / ERASMUS projects Choice of HEIs from UNIMED Focus on a specific topic (ICTs, energy, water, health, medecine, )

55

56 Objectives 1. Developing advanced technologies in 3 energy field areas, namely photovoltaics, concentrated solar power (+ storage) and grid integration, at the EU research centres, national agencies and SMEs in strong collaboration with MPC universities, research organizations and SMEs from Morocco and Egypt. 2. Testing innovative components (PV cells/modules, heliostats, storage ) under specific conditions of MPCs (irradiation, hot climate, dust ).

57 Objectives (cont.) 3. Establishing a strong network between EU and MPCs through exchange of students, senior researchers/engineers for transferring knowledge and technologies. 4. Disseminating the results of the project through the organization of scientific events (schools, workshops) open to a large public from universities, engineering schools and stakeholders.
