Hosted by the University of Évora (UÉvora), this final FTS gathered 31 participants, both online and onsite, including young researchers, senior experts, and candidate researchers.
The main focus of this edition was on the technology benchmarking and exploitation contents of the different solar-driven water production & treatment technologies, and brine treatment processes included in the project. The event featured presentations from all consortium partners, providing an in-depth analysis of the project’s innovations.
Besides the benchmarking made for the technologies, several invited companies participated in the FTS giving an overview on the exploitation of their technologies, the main challenges overcome, the technical challenges for the future and its market opportunities.
Beyond the presentations, attendees had the opportunity to visit the Renewable Energies Chair facilities at Herdade da Mitra. During this visit, the Joint Research Activity (JRA) developed within the project was presented.
The Sol2H2O Fast-Track School#3 in Évora marked a significant milestone for the Project. Sol2H20 is integrated into the DESAL+ Living Lab Platform, a collaborative research and innovation ecosystem focused on advancing desalination technologies and their integration into sustainable water management solutions.
