We hosted the first training event of the MSCA Doctoral Network MENTOR, bringing together a highly motivated and diverse group of doctoral candidates and their supervisors from various European institutions within the network. Over several days, participants took part in lectures, workshops, and networking activities focused on indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) and their role in advancing an energy- and climate-neutral future.
The MENTOR project aims to unlock the full potential of IPVs while addressing sustainability challenges through the establishment of an international consortium of 8 universities, 7 industrial partners, and 5 research centers. The consortium will cover all the key aspects and technologies related to IPVs, including sustainable design, organic and inorganic materials synthesis, photovoltaics manufacturing and characterization, device physics and modelling, theoretical and machine learning-driven approaches, photovoltaics recycling, and industrial processing.
