There are two types of membership to the Joint Programme:
• EERA Participants contribute to a Joint Programme with at least 5 person-years per year.
Participants have a seat in the Joint Programme Steering Committee of the Programme they have committed this contribution to. Participants have a collective responsibility for the good functioning of the Joint Programme.
• EERA Associate Participants do not meet the threshold of 5 person-years per year. They
are associated with a Participant, who represents the Associate’s interest in the Joint Programme.
Would you like to apply as a Participant or Associate Participant? EERA Participant
Please provide information (e.g. completed projects, publications & presentations, etc.) that substantiates that you are a recognised institute in the field of Energy Storage research.

C) Contribution
The activities foreseen in the Joint Programme are summarised in the Description of Work (DoW). You may use this document as background information for answering the questions below. Note that it is not (at all) required that you contribute to all subprogrammes.
What activities are you planning to contribute to subprogramme 1: Electrochemical Energy Storage? How does this add value to the Programme?
What activities are you planning to contribute to subprogramme 2: Chemical Energy Storage? How does this add value to the Programme?
Design of reaction systems, as micro-reactors, the use of photoreactors, the development of heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 reduction in thermal and photo-enhanced reactors.
Experience in membrane separation + reaction. Testing DAC sorption materials.
Sorption enhanced reaction, for CO2 removal in reactors (at present we are trying to remove water in methanation reaction).
Solar to fuel. Design and development of novel metal oxides and thermochemical cycles for water splitting.
The extensive experience of the faculty involved in the above mentioned tasks will add value to the program through the incorporation of knowledge and facilities.
What activities are you planning to contribute to subprogramme 3: Thermal Energy Storage? How does this add value to the Programme?
What activities are you planning to contribute to subprogramme 4: Mechanical Energy Storage? How does this add value to the Programme?
