CLUED-O Project

Who are the project partners?

Presentation of the partners

The consortium brings together 10 partners with complementary expertise, including research centers (Materia Nova, CRIBC) ; higher education and research institutions (Centrale Lille, UMons, ULCO, ULille, UGent), an SME (Techlink) and specialists in networking and socio-economic models
(Polénergie ans Team2). It can also rely on three associated partners: cluster TWEED, VITO NV and WaterstofNet.

Centrale Lille

Centrale Lille Institut is a public higher education and research institution that trains top-level engineers and researchers. It comprises four schools (Ecole Centrale de Lille, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Lille, IG2I and ITEEM), offers 14 masters courses, 7 of which are taught entirely in English, and awards doctorates. It counts 7 joint research laboratories. In the CLUED-O project, researchers from the l’Unité de Catalyse et Chimie du Solide (UMR CNRS 8181) bring their expertise in the field of oxide ion conductors, which are the core of solid oxide cells, and those from Unité Matériaux et Transformation (UMR CNRS 8207) their skills in the field of corrosion and mechanical properties.

Materia Nova

Materia Nova is a technological accelerator of responsible innovations, actively contributing to the development of solutions to address societal challenges, particularly those related to the energy transition and the deployment of the circular economy. Its areas of expertise include “advanced materials,” multifunctional surfaces, and processes with a reduced environmental footprint. Materia Nova’s approach is based on open and collaborative innovation, structured around five interconnected services: custom product development, engineering and industrialization, analysis and characterization, life cycle thinking, and project setup and management.

Pôlénergie

Pôlénergie contributes to the attractiveness of the Hauts-de-France region, turning energy transition and decarbonization into economic opportunities for local businesses and communities. It supports energy sectors, producers, infrastructure managers, and users, whether public or private.

UMons

The University of Mons (UMONS) is a Belgian higher education institution established in 2009 following the merger of the University of Mons-Hainaut and the Polytechnic Faculty of Mons. It comprises seven faculties and three schools, offering around a hundred programs ranging from bachelor’s to doctoral degrees. Located primarily in the historic center of Mons, it also has a campus in Charleroi. UMONS is distinguished by its human dimension and its commitment to the quality of education, research, and regional development. As an institution with an international focus, it actively participates in exchange programs such as Erasmus+ and plays a central role in the Hainuyère Hub, which brings together higher education institutions in the region.
