Researcher School
To further strengthen both academic and industrial activities in photovoltaic (PV) technology, education and recruitment of students are crucial elements. An important component of the proposed Centre is the establishment of a national researcher school in solar cell technology targeted at PhD-students.
The main aim of the researcher school is to train PhD students, as well as other PV experts, at a high international level in different areas of PV technology, thereby providing qualified candidates to the industry, research institutes and universities. The school will also serve as an important arena for collaboration and exchange of knowledge among the Centre partners.
Four new courses have been or are being developed. The researcher school draws upon the expertise of the research partners of the Centre. The courses address the following key topics:
- Modeling of solar cell materials
- Characterization of solar cells and solar cell materials
- Silicon-based solar cells
- Solar cell physics
The courses are intensive courses with highly condensed teaching.
