A delegation from the FOSS Research Centre of the University of Cyprus (UCY) and Cyprus Seeds visited the two PHAETHON project advanced partners, between 27 and 30 November 2023, within the framework of the project’s technology transfer and best-practice exchange on the way towards establishing the PHAETHON Centre of Excellence.
The delegation spent two days, respectively, at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the University of Groningen (UG) in the Netherlands. During that time, the 15-member team benefitted from an in-depth look into key areas of organisation/operations and expertise, ranging from quality assurance practices, to lab infrastructure organisation and lab expansion management, to hydrogen storage and hydrogen-based energy systems.
The visits also included extensive tours of dedicated facilities and labs, including Skylab (DTU) and the New Energy Academy Europe (UG).
About Project PHAETHON
The PHAETHON Teaming Project was submitted and awarded funding under the prestigious Horizon Europe “Teaming for Excellence” Call for Proposals. Along with the University of Cyprus (UCY), the other partners in the consortium are the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation Cyprus Seeds, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and the University of Groningen (UG) in the Netherlands. The project’s main outcome is to upgrade the highly successful UCY FOSS Research Centre for Sustainable Energy to an autonomous and self-sustaining Centre of Excellence in the energy field. It also serves as an academic and professional conduit between three countries (Cyprus, Denmark, and The Netherlands), jointly tackling the challenges and working towards facilitating the much-needed green transition.
