The ENHANCE project brings together 7 European universities and 7 industrial partners in cutting-edge hybrid systems science spanning from materials to end-user products.
They efficiently join their research efforts in chemistry, materials science, physics, mechanics, engineering and electronics to overcome the present technical limitations in enabling harvesters with high-power density, offering stabilized output voltage and the ability to adapt this technology to specific needs of sensors with high autonomy and working in high temperature ranges.
The beneficiaries have recruited the Early Stage Researchers and are responsible for the majority of the research activity. The following are the beneficiaries involved in the project and their key scientists :
Key Scientist - Dr. Ausrine Bartasyte
Key Scientist - Prof. Paul Mitcheson
Key Scientist - Dr. Mickaël Lallart
Key Scientist - Prof. Graziella Malandrino
Key Scientist - Prof. Laurent Montes
Key Scientist - Frank Claeyssen
Key Scientist - Prof. Mickael Heuken
ENHANCE includes non-academic partners that actively contribute to the project by providing valuable engineering and commercial insight, assessing the potential practical value of the advanced piezoelectric materials and innovative vibrational and hybrid energy harvesters and their systems developed throughout the project. Moreover, they provide co-supervision and secondments at their facilities. The non-academic partners range from Start-ups, Small-medium Enterprises Globally large enterprises and governmental organisations. The following are the beneficiaries involved in the project and their key scientists :
