The Foundation for Polish Science has announced the results of the first call for proposals (1/2023) in the Proof of Concept action funded by the European Funds for the Modern Economy (FENG) programme. The Proof of Concept action makes it possible to win grants for the implementation of R&D work to verify the research hypothesis and the implementation potential of the research results.
Among the 28 projects recommended for funding was also our application: 3D printed systems for harvesting waste energy from electromagnetic smog
The aim of the project is to apply patented conductive composites adapted for 3D printing using the FDM technique to produce antennas and systems for radio frequency energy harvesting devices (RFEH). This will allow the fabrication and integration of energy harvesting systems into structural components to form structural electronics systems.
