about the network
the Consortium
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.
