What does it predict
The NEST Research and Innovation Program “Network 4 Energy Sustainable Transition” (PE000021), financed by the European Union as part of the Next Generation EU initiative, drawing on the resources of Mission 4 “Education and research”, Component 2 “From business research”, Investment 1.3 “Partnerships extended to universities, research centres, companies and financing of research projects” of the PNRR, envisages initiatives based on cascade funding (Cascade funding) to support Proof of Concept and collaborative projects (both fundamental research, industrial research and/or experimental development) involving public administrations, universities, research organizations and companies interested in the Hub's themes and the topics covered by the Spokes and managed in collaboration with the Hub. From this perspective, Spoke 2 "Energy Harvesting and Off-shore renewable" promotes this cascade call with the aim of increasing the levels of technological maturity (TRL-Technology Readiness Level) envisaged by the NEST programme, through the involvement of subjects external to the project, strongly interested in introducing/implementing significant innovations that act as a trailblazer and/or as a tool for accelerating and specializing the activities carried out by the Spokes for the search for technologically advanced solutions, in relation to products, processes and services transferable to NEST's areas of intervention. Topics covered by this Notice TOPIC 1: Development of a digital platform for access to relevant data for the installation of renewable energy conversion technologies from marine sources, with particular focus on the Mediterranean. TOPIC 2: At-sea testing of scale models of marine energy conversion systems for the development and calibration of digital twins. TOPIC 3: Magnetic tunneling junctions for the development of electromagnetic energy harvesting for "green Io T" applications.
