Project Proposal

Call: HORIZON-CL5-2026-02-D3-10
Topic: Towards commercialisation of Perovskite PV and development of dedicated manufacturing equipment
Partnership: EUPI-PV

We are looking for an experienced international coordinator for the Horizon Europe call HORIZON-CL5-2026-02-D3-10 (EUPI-PV). We are explicitly looking for an experienced international coordinator and a strong industry-led consortium to join as a partner.

🔬 Our intended role in the project
We aim to participate exclusively as a consortium partner, contributing to:
- fundamental and applied characterisation of perovskite materials
- optical, structural and electronic analysis
- independent validation and benchmarking of newly developed perovskite PV materials and processes

Our research activities are strongly aligned with renewable energy technologies and sustainable materials, with a particular focus on perovskite-based materials and their physical, optical and electronic properties. Our expertise is directly relevant to perovskite photovoltaics, material stability and performance benchmarking in the context of energy applications and the EU Green Deal.

We are looking to connect with:
- an established international coordinator (preferably industry-driven or with strong industrial links)
- industrial partners / equipment manufacturers active in perovskite PV scale-up, pilot lines or manufacturing equipment
- consortia already forming or considering submission under HORIZON-CL5-2026-02-D3-10

⚠️ Our view on the call

- From our perspective, this call is highly ambitious and best approached as a high-risk / high-gain project, requiring:
- strong industrial leadership,
- realistic division of responsibilities,
- excellent academic–industry complementarity (including track records).

We believe our contribution is most effective as a specialised academic partner, rather than as coordinator.
