Photovoltaic power generation is pivotal in the transition to a clean energy system and the achievement of a climate-neutral economy. To this end, it is important to enhance affordability, security of supply and sustainability of PV technologies along with further efficiency improvements.

The record power conversion efficiency of small-area perovskite solar cells has impressively exceeded 25%. For commercial application, scaling up the device area to fabricate efficient perovskite solar modules is the necessary next step. However, there is still a certain efficiency gap between the large and small size.
To minimise this gap proposals are expected to:

• Demonstrate an industrially scalable method for the (homogeneous) deposition of high-quality large-area perovskite films.
• Demonstrate fabrication of large-area charge transporting layers and electrodes.

New ways of reducing serious injuries and the long-term consequences of road crashes

Closed

Code: 29445 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL5-2023-D6-01-12 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Climate, Energy and Mobility (Cluster 5)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 04/05/2023 | End submission calls: 05/09/2023

In addition to fatal and near-fatal injuries, personal injuries with long-term consequences continue to pose a threat to personal mobility. Particularly pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcycle riders, as well as users of new mobility devices, have a high risk to sustain personal injuries with long-term outcomes, such as brain and neck injuries. In cars, despite new collision mitigation systems, low and medium severity collisions may still cause similar permanent neurological disorders to occupants.

More research is needed to establish a relevant system for classification of long-term or permanent disability that can be used for the development and design of future protective solutions as well as policies and requirements.

New efforts in accident research are required, as well as the most related social sciences (economics and psychology), further to research in biomechanics, vehicle crashworthiness, and other aspects of crash dynamics.

Aviation safety – Uncertainty quantification for safety and risk management

Research is needed in order to limit transport infrastructure vulnerability to climate change and other natural or human caused disruptions. Making infrastructures more resilient to climate change should focus on improving the ability of the transport infrastructure network to withstand disruption, adapt to changing conditions under extreme circumstances while maintaining its performance.

The goal is to strengthen infrastructure reliability, improve its performance under extreme circumstances thus increasing the resilience of the whole transport system.

Port and waterway operators need to take urgent action to strengthen resilience and adapt.
