FuturePV Workshop 2025
FuturePV brought the international perovskite photovoltaic community together to discuss how emerging technologies can move from laboratory progress towards scalable, reliable and circular energy solutions.
Why Cicci Research sponsored FuturePV
Cicci Research sponsored FuturePV because reliable metrology and long-term device testing are essential to future-proof perovskite photovoltaics. The workshop's focus on measurement protocols, stability, field reliability and upscaling closely reflects the challenges addressed by ARKEO instrumentation.
The three-day workshop, titled Future-Proofing Perovskite PV: Innovations in Upscaling, Reliability, and Circularity, was hosted at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia. It combined keynote lectures, research presentations, interactive panel discussions and networking activities.
FuturePV connected 14 European research projects and welcomed 37 invited speakers and 75 participants. Its programme covered technology upscaling and industrialisation, tandem architecture optimisation, measurement protocols for metastable devices, long-term stability and field reliability, and circularity and life-cycle analysis.
The workshop was organised in the context of TESTARE, the Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action Twinning for excellence in TEsting new generation PV: Long-term STAbility and field REliability. The project ran from January 2023 to December 2025 and strengthened the University of Cyprus DegradationLab through collaboration with IMEC, Fraunhofer and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
TESTARE supported networking, access to advanced metrology, dedicated training, joint doctoral work and the exchange of testing methodologies and research-management expertise for emerging photovoltaic technologies.
