The achievement of the proposed objectives can only be fulfilled through a well-coordinated effort. This undertaking involves tasks including system architecture, design and simulation of devices, material growth and characterization and fabrication of devices, test activities, system integration and, ultimately, technology transfer of the results achieved.

The POWERSAT consortium consists of three universities (UCC, UU, and UNIVPM), two research institutes (IMT and FORTH), one SME (FADO), and a major company with expertise in satellites and space applications (THALES), representing six European countries. The eight partners form a highly interdisciplinary team with R&D expertise and skills in semiconductor materials and nanoelectronics, materials science, EM/multiphysics design and modeling, micro- and nanofabrication, as well as 2D materials deposition and characterisation, device/component testing, and validation. This highly complementary set of competences is needed to meet the ambitious project’s objectives and each partner plays a unique, non-redundant role in the work plan, providing expertise and critical infrastructure in the fields of semiconductor and 2D materials, TCAD simulation, electronics, EM/multiphysics design, rectenna fabrication, system integration, electronic test expertise, and manufacturing. The integration of social sciences and humanities is not required to deliver the project’s short term and long-term impacts because the work is mostly technical in nature.
