DigInnoCent s.r.o. participated in the first annual consortium meeting of the DURATRANS project, held on 27 May 2025 at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER), University of Zagreb. Hosted by our Croatian project partner, the meeting brought together the international consortium to review progress achieved during the project’s first year and coordinate activities for the next implementation phase.
Funded under the M-ERA.NET 2023 programme, DURATRANS is developing sustainable, highly durable nanowire-based flexible transparent conductive surfaces. These advanced materials have the potential to enable a new generation of flexible electronic devices while improving durability, sustainability and industrial scalability.
Reviewing the First Year of Progress
Throughout the meeting, consortium partners presented the latest technical developments across all work packages. Discussions focused on progress in material synthesis, optimisation of manufacturing processes, durability testing and evaluation of the materials’ mechanical and chemical performance.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to coordinate upcoming activities, review planned deliverables and strengthen collaboration between partners as the project enters its second year.
A particular focus was placed on integrating sustainability assessment and scalability considerations into material development, ensuring that the technologies being developed are suitable for future industrial deployment.
Strengthening European Collaboration
DURATRANS brings together complementary expertise from leading European research organisations:
University of Turku (Finland) – Project Coordinator
Tampere University (Finland)
University of Zagreb – Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (Croatia)
DigInnoCent s.r.o. (Czech Republic)
Each organisation contributes specialised knowledge spanning advanced nanomaterials, material characterisation, process development, technology validation and innovation management. As a consortium partner, DigInnoCent supports project coordination, dissemination, communication activities and the development of pathways for future exploitation of project results.
Looking Ahead
The Zagreb consortium meeting confirmed the strong progress achieved during the first year of DURATRANS and established a clear roadmap for the next phase of research and development.
As the project advances, DigInnoCent remains committed to supporting effective collaboration across the consortium and helping translate scientific innovation into practical, sustainable technologies for next-generation electronics.
