ESR13, Abhishek Dubey presented the INSPIRE MSCA-ETN Project and Pressure Gain Combustion (PGC) to students at the Distributed Thermal Energy Systems at ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences
27 July 2023
The concept of PGC, particularly the Rotating Detonation Combustion, was fascinating to the audience. Distributed Thermal Energy Systems group at the ZHAW School of Engineering performs fundamental and applied research on a wide range of carbon-neutral technologies such as renewable energy, sustainable fuels, combustion, emissions, energy storage and transportation. ZHAW is collaborating with TPG UNIGE to develop strategies for integrating Power-to-Gas storage solutions with PGC powerplants. For the decarbonization of the power sector, future PGC gas turbines will be required to operate with clean and sustainable fuels, and therefore, the investigation is currently focused on the techno-economic performance of PGC powerplants integrated with renewable power for the production and combustion of green hydrogen.

2023/02/23 – Training Workshop on Science Communication for MSCA ITN doctoral researchers
30 January 2023
MCAA is organizing the Science Communication Training Workshop which will be held on 23 February 2023 both onsite in Cordoba (Spain) and online as a satellite event of the 2023 MCAA Annual Conference. Though open to all, the training is specifically designed for ESRs of MSCA Innovative Training Networks. Participants can attend the workshop either onsite in Cordoba or entirely online. The workshop will be a one-day full-immersion, highly interactive training session (from 9 am to 6pm), which will also serve as an introduction to science communication for those without prior experience. Participants can use their own projects as a practice case and will have the possibility to publish their article on MCAA's publication outlets, for instance the MCAA Blog which is a registered publication for science communication (ISSN 2958-7867). The deadline for registration is 20 February. Selection of participants will be done on a rolling basis, until all seats are filled. Thanks to the collaboration with the EU funded project European Citizen Science (ECS), the registration fee for the workshop is 150 Euro, which corresponds to a 50% discount on the full price.
