Projects

This section lists the projects headed by the Institute, which support the activities of our research and innovation. All of IREC’s groups coordinate or are involved in competitive and industrial projects. The industrial projects are not available in the list to safeguard their confidentiality agreements.

Funding sources include EU, national and regional public programmes, private foundations, industrial collaborations and partnerships, and competitive grants for the hiring of researchers.

Our aim is to strengthen the Institute’s position as a reference centre in energy research and to contribute to cutting edge research and development in collaboration with the main players in the field of energy.

For more details, see the project list or visit the individual research group pages.
