Wednesday 11th of March marked the official beginning of InComEss project, with the kick-off meeting. Due to the special circumstances caused by coronavirus the meeting was held online. All partners participated actively during the 2-day meeting, seizing the opportunity to meet virtually and discuss the implementation of the project.

The InComEss project proposes a new green-and-cost-effective strategy for highly efficient energy harvesting systems, combining new smart advanced polymer-based composite materials and structures into a single/multi-source concept. These systems will include several components, ranging from the generator to the energy storage components. For the generator component, lead- free polymer-based PiezoElectric (PE) composite fibres and thermoplastic-based melt-mixed ThermoElectric (TE) composites will be developed.
