Challenge is a HORIZON 2020 project financed under the NMBP (Nanotechnologies, advanced Materials, Biotechnology and Production) work programme that studies growth, processing and devices in cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC).

3C-SiC technology can have a large impact on the future power device market and is particularly suited for implementation in hybrid electrical vehicles

PRESS RELEASE: Challenge - New power devices for electric vehicles kicked off!

Challenge project kicked off with a successful meeting on January 23 in Brussels.

Challenge is a HORIZON 2020 project financed under the NMBP (Nanotechnologies, advanced Materials, Biotechnology and Production) work programme that studies growth, processing and devices in cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC).

The project beyond-nano is proposing the establishment of a research infrastructure seamlessly integrated with the best skills of southern Italy CNR’s structures in the field of advanced materials and nanotechnology. The structures involved are: Institute of Microelectronics and Microsystems of Catania , Institute of Nanoscience of Lecce , Institute for Chemical-Physical Processes of Cosenza, Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Polymers and the Institute for Composite and Biomedical Materials of Naples.
