The 36-month review meeting of the Horizon 2020 project iClimaBuilt was held in Trondheim, Norway on March 14th and 15th. Hosted by NTNU, representatives from the 27 partner organizations, including Project Coordinator Professor Charitidis from NTUA and Project Monitor Magdalena Pawelska-Mazur, attended the meeting. They discussed the current status of the project and set the work plan for the next period, focusing on the development of an open access ecosystem for developing, upscaling and testing innovations in building envelope materials and technical systems via its 9 Pilot Lines (PLs) to reach Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) balance. At the same time, iClimabuilt will support and help small high-tech firms to scale up and cope with the continuous rising of technological complexity, assisting in the transformation of research results into innovations.

During the meeting, R-NanoLab presented the Joint Venture Company within WP2 and the WP7 related to the Open Call of iClimabuilt OITB project. The idea of this open call is to deploy a set of test cases where (group of) companies outside of the Consortium (Experimentation Teams), will be able to develop or to test any of their technologies referring to materials for building envelopes, bringing in their case. iClimabuilt will offer the related services through its Services Arena. Each experimentation team needs to describe its lack in knowledge, the selected services and how the selected services are expected to close these knowledge gaps.
