The SOLARIZE project has launched two new annual awards to strengthen the scientific community in concentrated solar thermal (CST) technologies and support the training of emerging researchers. The awards will be presented during the Gala Dinner of the EU-SOLARIS Annual Doctoral Colloquium and Summer School.
