The European workshop on nanotechnologies & advanced materials for photovoltaics & concentrated solar power, organized by the EU PV Cluster, with the support of EMIRI and the European Commission, has bought together coordinators of European projects, as well as technology and market experts, and representatives from the industry and the European Commission. The workshop aimed at highlighting key results of the FP7 and H2020 projects in the field of nanotechnologies & advanced materials for photovoltaics & concentrated solar power, and identifying common R&I priorities in order to bridge the gap between the lab and the market, and providing recommendations to the European Commission. WASCOP coordinator Delphine Bourdon presented the potential WASCOP contribution to bridge the gap between the lab and the market.
