UPPSALA, Sweden – 18 May 2026 – The INDYE project, a transnational research initiative funded under the M-ERA.NET Call 2023, successfully concluded its 5th progress meeting and steering committee meeting on 17 May 2026. Hosted by Uppsala University at the Ångström Laboratory, the gathering brought together leading researchers from France, Spain, and Sweden to review scientific breakthroughs and plan the next phase of innovation in dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs).
The progress meeting, open to all team members, showcased significant advances across the project’s work packages (WPs), with a particular focus on alternative copper-based electrolytes, novel dye development, consensitization, electrical characterization and modelling, and solid-state device architectures. The consortium also discussed the fabrication of minimodules, setting a clear roadmap towards prototype development.
Immediately following the general progress meeting, the INDYE Steering Committee convened with Principal Investigators only. The closed-door session, chaired according to the formal agenda, addressing among other things the definitions of the next scientific objectives and milestones, the preparation of continuation proposals, and the celebration of the next progress meeting (Seville, October 2026).
The committee reaffirmed the consortium’s strong collaboration and commitment to accelerating the commercial readiness of high-performance, stable, and environmentally friendlier dye-sensitised solar cells.
