The 9th will come very soon. Stay tuned!!
The eight call was closed on August 31st, 2023. After the first eight successful calls and more than 92 submitted projects widely granted to access. The projects presented with this last call and the previous ones are under review. Unfortunately there is a delay in the review process due to a cyber-attack suffered by HZB. Learn more here. Applicants will be very soon notified about the results

VIPERLAB identifies perovskite PV as the key emerging technology that will be the lever for a future market penetration of EU-based PV production with lowest costs and lowest carbon footprint.
Through facilitated and coordinated access to the best and complimentary EU perovskite infrastructures , both physical and virtual and the use of advanced data mining approaches, VIPERLAB project stimulates European academic and industrial researchers to work together on the research and development of the next generation of solar cell technology, which will accelerate the perovskite PV technology development in Europe.
Free access to top-ranked infrastuctures involved in
- Innovative material synthesis,
- State-of-the-art device design and development
- Standardized testing methods
- Simulation methods, and databases
is offered for EU researchers in academia and industry in order to validate at lab-scale and at pre-industrial-scale, the technology that will form the backbone for EU PV recovered worldwide leadership all along the value chain
You can find below a catalogue of the offered physical infrastructures.
