ARTEMIS Laboratory (CPERI/CERTH)

Mission The mission of the Laboratory of Advanced Renewable Technologies & Environmental Materials in Integrated Systems (ARTEMIS), established in November 2022, is to conduct cutting-edge basic and applied sustainable research with emphasis on solar heat, novel hydrogen fuels, as well as innovative materials, with a special focus on ceramics. The aim is to achieve optimum integration in the context of the green transformation of industrial applications and address the relevant social challenges and priorities of the national and European research and technology policy. Scientific objectives The core scientific objectives of the ARTEMIS Laboratory include: - Materials and subsystems for production of energy carriers from solar-thermal/thermochemical processes - Hydrogen technologies - Combustion processes and emission control technologies - Simulation of physical, chemical, biological and biochemical processes with the use of innovative computational engineering methods. - Aerosol technologies and methods of exposure/assessment of the impact of particles’ dispersion in biological systems. The ARTEMIS Laboratory treats areas that are clearly related to the Sectors “Clean Energy”, “Environment” and “Sustainable Industry” while its emerging activities cover very specific sub-areas that can be considered to be part of the “Biosciences” Sector. History The ARTEMIS Laboratory is the result of a restructuring decision made by the Board of Directors of the Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH) aiming to unify and strengthen the activities of the Chemical Processes & Energy Resources Institute (CPERI) on relevant scientific areas and align with the specific GSRI recommendations as came up after CPERI’s latest (2022) evaluation. Based on that decision, the former Aerosol and Particle Technology Laboratory (APTL) joined forces with 3 other Research Groups of CPERI to form the newest, to date, laboratory of CPERI/CERTH.
