Foundational research in quantum & AI, for energy materials and nanodevices.

Five thematic tracks — from first-principles materials to attosecond spectroscopy — unified by a commitment to open, public-interest science. Supported by the EU, African Union and African Academy of Sciences.

Five tracks, one agenda.

Energy materials & devices

Materials design for batteries, solar, and energy conversion — first-principles up to device-scale simulations.

Open

Single molecular electronics

Electronic transport at the single-molecule limit — where quantum mechanics meets circuitry.

Open

Thermoelectric materials

Waste-heat recovery through novel thermoelectric materials and band-structure engineering.

Open

Ultra-fast dynamics & spectroscopy

Probing physics on attosecond timescales — the shortest events we can resolve today.

Open

Quantum & AI research

Cross-cutting quantum algorithms and machine-learning methods applied across our tracks.
