The CIG Team is formed by 35 members from 16 countries with representatives from academia, research centres and industry.
ECO-AERoGELS consists of 6 Working Groups (WGs):
WG1 – Aerogels from biorefinery approach: Product innovations through the conversion of different biological non-food feedstocks (biomass) into valuable sources for aerogel production. WG1 leaders: Tatiana Budtova and Zoran Novak.
WG2 – Aerogels from valorisation of wastes: Product innovations through the conversion of valorized wastes from different sectors (food, cattle, construction, etc.) into valuable sources for aerogel production. WG2 leaders: Luísa Durães and Lara Manzocco.
WG3 – Recycling and reprocessing of aerogels for next use: Product innovations through the new use of spent inorganic, organic and hybrid aerogels. WG3 leaders: Patrina Paraskevopoulou and Zeljko Tomovic.
WG4 – Rational and/or minimal use of resources: Process innovations for the rational use of raw materials and energy consumptions in aerogel production. WG4 leaders: Tingting Wu and Ana Iglesias-Mejuto.
WG5 – Safe use of aerogels: Evaluation of the physicochemical and biological properties of aerogels for their safe use and reintegration. WG5 leaders: Monica Neagu and Rosana Simón-Vázquez.
WG6 – Impact, dissemination and coordination: Coordination of resources and CIG timelines for reaching technological, commercial and social impacts. WG6 leaders: Carlos A. García-González, Irina Smirnova, Can Erkey and Marc Fricke.
