International Workshop
ADVANCES AND INNOVATIONS IN SOFCs
September 13-17, 2009 Katarino, Bulgaria
This Workshop is organized with funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement No 213389.
The International Workshop Advances and Innovations in SOFCs is organized within the framework of the 7 FP project “Innovative Dual Membrane Fuel Cell” (IDEAL-Cell), which aims at developing an innovative design of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) working with higher efficiency at lower (700-600oC) temperatures. The new concept combines the advantages, and eliminates the disadvantages of both oxygen conducting and proton conducting SOFCs, ensuring the production of the water in a third separate compartment.
The relation of the project to the most advanced and innovative oxygen- and proton conducting solid oxide materials, combined with the innovative idea for a new fuel cell design, determines the wide scope of the Workshop topics and the interest in multidisciplinary approaches for their elucidation.
The Workshop is organized as to provide the participants with enhanced opportunities for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and achievements. In addition to the oral and poster presentations, a series of multidisciplinary educational lectures (training courses) and discussion sessions will take place.
Particular attention is given to the active participation of junior scientists for whom a special oral presentation session is planned. Awards will be given for most enthusiastic involvement (most questions asked, most interesting question asked, etc.) and best poster and oral presentations.
Although organized for the exchange of knowledge and achievements related to the implementation of the project IDEAL-Cell, the Workshop “ADVANCES AND INNOVATIONS IN SOFCs” is open for both senior and junior researchers working in the field of SOFCs.
The Workshop will be followed by two parallel Satellite Meetings:
- Second Consortium Meeting of the project IDEAL-Cell;
- “Materials for Alternative Energy Systems” organized by the project “Alternative Energy Systems” (ALENES) of Operational Program “Development of Human Resources”
