Training and the transfer of expertise in the area of energy harvesting and management are key components towards self-sustainable smart platforms on flexible substrates. The EU-funded SYNERGY project will boost the scientific and technical capacity of Portuguese institutions in the domain of energy harvesting and micropower management. To that end, it will link Portuguese academic and research institutions with leading European institutions in printed electronics, solar cells and batteries on foil, battery and supercapacitor development, energy integration and power management as well as materials, devices and systems analysis, validation and modelling. The project will encourage scientific excellence, leading to the establishment of new self-powered smart platforms entirely compatible with Portuguese institutions.
