From 16 to 18 October at Castello Carlo V di Lecce
15,00-18,00 Thursday 16, morning and afternoon Friday 17 hours 9,00-13,00 Saturday 18
The photovoltaic panels that we are accustomed to seeing in our campaigns could soon retire, to leave the place to new generation plants.
Of this important and current theme to which the future of our planet is linked, will be discussed in Lecce, within the framework of "Photovoltaics: new frontiers and applications", 16 to 18 October: an intense three days organized by Dhitech, which will focus the attention of the European scientific world on the new frontiers and applications of photovoltaics, favouring the interaction between researchers of international laboratories, the academic world and companies in the sector, in order to stimulate an increasingly profitable collaboration.
"New photovoltaic devices based on hybrid, thin, semi-transparent and coloured materials, are making a rapid evolution in terms of efficiency and durability so that scientists from all over the world are convinced that they are the promise of the future for the production of energy from the sun. Such panels can be easily integrated into the walls and windows of buildings without any use of territory.”, explains Giuseppe Gigli, of the University of Salento and referent of the project MAAT del Dhitech.
This international workshop, the second focus on these themes, is an event organized by Dhitech, High Tech Technology District, within the Project MAAT, whose strategic objective is the implementation of a platform of Molecular Nanotechnology.
Appointment at the Carlo V Castle, where Thursday, October 16th at 3pm the opening of the works with experts in the field, physical, chemical and engineers, will arrive in Lecce from all over Europe and the United States.
The scientific committee consists of Giuseppe Gigli, which is also Chairman of the event; Filippo De Angelis, of the CNR ISTM of Perugia, William Lanzani, of the IIT-CBN of Milan; and Aldo Di Carlo, University of Tor Vergata, Rome.
Viva satisfaction is expressed by the President of Dhitech Lorenzo Vasanelli.
THE MAAT PROJECT: The MAAT project aims at creating an experimental research and development platform for the manufacture of new optoletronic integrated systems of the latest generation, based on processes Molecular Nanotechnology.
Applications concern the areas of the Environment and Health of Man.
The final objective of the MAAT project is the development of two innovative products for application in the field of Building Integration with low environmental impact and the Molecular Diagnostic for Human Health. The final strategic goal is the implementation of a real platform Molecular Nanotechnology.
The project partners are: CNR, National Research Council; theItalian Institute of Technology, the University of Salento; the University of Bari (UNIBA) the TRE Tozzi Renewable Energy; STMicroelectronics; and San Raffaele Hospital of Milan.
DHITECH: The Apulian High Tech Technology District operates in the field of research and training activities developed in national and Community projects.
I do. The purpose of the District is to facilitate and orchestrate the development of an Innovative High-Tech Entrepreneurship Ecosystem incardinated on three socio-technical systems:
- Tissutale Engineering for Regenerative Medicine
- Nanotechnologie Molecolari for the environment and health
- ICT for Innovation in the Design of high knowledge and sustainable products and services.
The ecosystem refers to the European model of "Knowledge and Innovation Communities" whose approach to development is based on the valorisation and dissemination of knowledge.
The main strategic objective for achieving the aims of the District is the creation of a substantial critical mass of development actors, including the central figure of the "Innovators/Entrepreneurs", young people who, with solid scientific/technical bases, are able to promote and implement paths of valorisation of knowledge in order to innovate the production system also through the birth of new company High – Tech.
