The UT Austin Portugal Program, the long-standing Science and Technology Partnership between the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), is very pleased to announce its online course on Net-Zero Climate Emissions: The role of nanotechnologies for advanced energy generation, conversion, and storage, happening from December 13 to December 16 (2 p.m. Lisbon time | 8 a.m. Austin time).
Coordinated by Killian Lobato (Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, Portugal), Brian Korgel (the University of Texas at Austin, USA), Carla Silva (CITEVE, Portugal), Guilherme Gaspar (University of Lisbon, Portugal) and Paulo Ferreira (INL and IST, Portugal), the training program will provide industry and academia the technological and scientific pathways required for deployment of sustainable cost-effective large scale energy storage and conversion powered by renewable energies.
- December 13 | The European Green Deal - The technological requirements for Net-Zero climate emissions by 2050
- December 14 | Photovoltaics, current market and industry, and a technological outlook
- December 15 | Energy storage (electrochemical batteries and supercapacitors, other potential technologies)
- December 16 | Green fuel generation using renewable energy (H2 generation, synthetics fuels)
To participate, attendees must fill out this form until December 9.
Please note that until November 24, we will be accepting registrations only from participants affiliated to Portuguese institutions or to UT Austin. Participants from institutions located elsewhere may apply for the course from November 25 onwards, with seats being given on a first-come first-serve basis.
