Researchers from all disciplines with research projects that address industry challenges aligning with one or more of the four TRaCE Research Themes are invited to apply:

  • NEXT GENERATION SOLAR PV AND SYSTEMS

New projects that accelerate integration and scale of solar technologies.

  • ELECTRIFICATION, ENERGY SYSTEMS AND STORAGE

New projects that drive manufacturing in industry electrification, clean energy systems and storage.

  • SUSTAINABLE FUELS AND CHEMICALS MANUFACTURING
