TESTARE project

A new partnership that brings together four countries, Cyprus, Belgium, Germany and Israel has been launched for the implementation of a new project with the acronym «TESTARE» and entitled «Twinning for excellence in TEsting new generation PV: Long-term STAbility and field REliability». The Coordinator is the DegradationLab, a new research strategic unit of the PV Technology Laboratory which is an integral part of the FOSS Research Centre for Sustainable Energy and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Cyprus.


Upcoming Events

TESTARE workshop on Inclusive and supportive workplace for researchers and project managers - Sharing good practices/experiences

20 Nov 2025

Join us for the second edition of our engaging workshop series, where we will delve into the issue of how to best ensure an inclusive and supportive workplace for researchers and project managers. This online workshop, offered by the Horizon Europe TESTARE project, will strive to bring to the discussion good practices and experiences beyond the TESTARE boundaries, through joining forces with five more European projects, namely Twin2Expand, Laperitivo, SOLMATES, DemosAxia, APPROACH.

The workshop brings together academics, senior R&D scientists, project coordinators and managers, Human Resource project leads, young researchers and support grant recipients, as well as experts from SMEs to share their experiences with respect to inclusiveness at the workplace and as part of projects in order to learn from each other.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into this important topic as well as share your views and perspectives on the matter.
