LEMTA(1) is contributing to the EU-MACE project (European Materials Acceleration Center for Energy), one of 70 projects selected for funding by COST this year and officially launched on October 3, 2023 in Brussels.
The COST program: developing research networks
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding body for research and innovation networks. It aims to federate one or more communities around a scientific and/or technological theme, in a bottom-up approach, to develop networking activities (conferences, symposia, scientific missions, training schools, etc.) in line with the program’s policy of excellence and inclusion.
Budgets are essentially dedicated to network animation, and are often a stepping stone towards setting up consortia to respond to Europeans.
37 partners to develop materials and technologies for the energy transition
Coordinated by CEA (Saclay), the EU-MACE project brings together 37 partners from 18 countries. The core of the consortium is made up of colleagues from the Joint Programmes AMPEA of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA).
Within this framework, David Lacroix (Energy Transport in Materials, Interfaces and Nanostructures team, LEMTA) represents several laboratories from the EMPP, M4 and CPM clusters of the Université de Lorraine; he is also coordinating the training part of the project.
