🚀Our last Newsletter is out!

This issue explores our journey from recovering mine waste to creating tellurium-free #thermoelectric materials & devices.

👉 Not the end, but a transition towards long-term collaboration, innovation, and impact: https://t.co/UIbOVRcErI

[START - HE project @START_HEproject]

After 4 years, we reached the end!

On 19 May, the START Final Workshop showcased the project’s latest results, including prototype #thermoelectric devices and materials developed from mine waste.

Over the last 2 days we held our final events, including:

1) Final workshop
2) Side Session at the @EIT RawMaterials Summit

We have presented our main results & outcomes, and discussed what is necessary to develop the #thermoelectric sector in #EU.

But, we're not done yet...
