Projects on advanced materials for energy financed by M-ERA.NET 3 network

14-03-2024

Two research projects involving Polish teams led by AGH University researchers are to obtain funding within a competition organised by M-ERA.NET 3 network (Call 2023). The projects concern the field of materials and materials engineering, particularly sustainable advanced materials for energy. They will be implemented by international consortia consisting of scientific experts and industry partners, and the teams from the AGH University that are part of them will receive a total of more than PLN 1.7 million for research.
