As the START Project enters its final year, we are proud to showcase our progress in building a sustainable EU ecosystem for thermoelectric materials. Our mission is to transform mine waste, specifically tetrahedrites, into efficient devices for waste heat recovery, bolstering the EU’s energy economy and resource resilience.
Why attend?
This workshop represents a key milestone in START’s commitment to training and knowledge sharing. By attending, either in person or remotely, you will:
-
Gain a deep dive into the world of thermoelectricity, spanning materials, cutting-edge technology, and applications.
-
Learn about the “START approach” to sourcing and utilizing secondary raw materials from within Europe.
-
Network with project experts and external fellow experts in the field.
-
Receive an official certificate of attendance upon completion.
What is the programme?
The workshop features a comprehensive agenda covering the full lifecycle of thermoelectric development:
-
Thermoelectric Materials: An overview and a focus on sustainable raw materials from mine waste.
-
Technical Processing: Insights into material processing and characterization.
-
Applications & Devices: Deep dives into thermoelectric devices and their use in energy production and cooling.
-
Sustainability: A dedicated session on the START case study and the project’s expected legacy.
