5TH CALL TO ACCESS
Wednesday 30th November (EOB) has been the deadline to submit proposals to free access in our excellent and complimentary EU perovskite PV infrastructures. These calls aim to foster perovskite PV development and testing in Europe to build a unified access service towards EU academic and industrial researchers. Find further information here.
In one year of VIPERLAB calls (October 2021-September 2022) 43 projects coming from 18 different EU- and non-EU countries were granted. Sixteen projects related to fabrication, characterisation, simulation, and computing experiments related to perovskite research have already been implemented and the other are in progress.
PROJECT PROGRESS SO FAR
The “First strategic VIPERLAB workshop on main harmonisation/standardisation challenges for Perovskite PV” was organised by the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) on the 14th and 15th September 2022 in Vienna, Austria.

VIPERLAB in the WCPEC-8 2022
From 26th to 30th September the 8th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC-8) took place in the Milano Convention Centre in Italy. In parallel, the First Strategic VIPERLAB workshop was organised at the same venue in Milan. The goal of the workshop was to discuss the recently published Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) – a document created the European Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics (ETIP-PV) and the EERA JP Photovoltaic (EERA PV JP).

PEROSPACE workshop
On 28th and 29th November the PEROSPACE workshop took place in Rome (Italy). The workshop was organised by Dr. Narges Yaghoobi Nia and supported by the University of Rome Tor Vergata. The VIPERLAB project and the Aerospace Engineering School of Sapienza University of Rome discussed about the last trends in “Perovskite solar module fabrication and commercialisation” and “Space application of perovskite solar photovoltaics”.

Webinar on Customising co-evaporated perovskites
On 29th June, Dr Annalisa Bruno, principal scientist at the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University addressed the topic “Customising co-evaporated perovskites: from small areas solar cells to mini-module”. During her presentation, Dr. Bruno showed why thermal evaporation is a promising perovskite fabrication technique to bring this technology closer to reliable and extended production, by relying on excellent size scalability, promising stability, fine composition control, and surface adaptability.
The webinar showcased the highly efficient, large area device based on co-evaporated MAPbI3 perovskite and their optimised and customised strategies for n-i-p and p-i-n structures. In addition, Dr. Bruno described how the co-evaporated MAPbI3 is formed intrinsically strain-free with remarkable structural robustness and impressive thermal stability.

Conference on New Generation Photovoltaics for Space
Dr Narges Yaghoobi Nia and Prof Aldo Di Carlo (UNITOV - University Tor Vergata) were organizers of the online conference on New Generation Photovoltaics for Space (PVSPACE)
The conference took place from the 21st to the 22nd of June 2022. The scope of the conference was to gather international experts in new generation photovoltaics such as perovskite, organic PV or tandem between new generation and conventional PV, to have a fresh update on the development in the field and to define new opportunities of new generation PV in space applications.
