SUMMER SCHOOL

The SFERA-III Summer School, entitled “Solar Process Heat Applications and Water Solar Desalination“, gathered 65 participants during two days.

On the first day, the session was on “Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP)” with 9 classes held by different speakers from CIEMAT-PSA, DLR-Institute of Solar Research, and CEA.

On the second day, the session was about “Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) and Water Desalination” with 5 classes animated by speakers from CIEMAT-PSA and SOLATOM.

To close this 2nd SFERA-III Summer School, the participants visited the PSA facilities.
