A significant activity of the NESTER project are the 3-day workshops organized by the NESTER partners and which delve into one or two specialised Solar Thermal Energy (STE) Subtopics.
The workshops are open to established CyI (Cyprus Institute) researchers, early stage researchers, graduate and PhD students from CyI as well as other interested researchers from Cyprus.
