About Summer School
The transition toward sustainable chemical fuels demands innovative approaches at the intersection of materials science, catalysis, electrochemistry, and solar energy conversion.
Organized under the European Horizon project SUNPEROM (Solar-Driven Perovskite Tandem for Methanol Production), this three-day intensive program brings together world-leading researchers, early-career scientists, and students to explore the latest breakthroughs in photoelectrocatalysis and solar fuel technologies.
What to Expect
The summer school features lectures, interactive workshops, and dedicated discussion sessions led by prominent researchers from EPFL, UCL, Université Paris-Saclay, ITC, and other SUNPEROM partner institutions.
Key Topics Covered:
-
Photoelectrocatalytic CO₂ conversion
-
Perovskite tandem materials and devices
-
Reactor design & solar fuel production
-
System integration & performance evaluation
-
Sustainability assessment & techno-economic analysis
Beyond the technical sessions, the event offers a collaborative space to exchange ideas, build cross-disciplinary networks, and engage with experts advancing clean energy solutions.
