Introduction
We are excited to invite engineers, industry professionals, and curious minds to visit the research group of Professor Morten Madsen at the University of Southern Denmark.
Professor Madsen leads the Center for Advanced Photovoltaics and Thin Film Energy Devices (SDU CAPE), where groundbreaking work is being done on thin films and devices for energy conversion and storage. From organic and hybrid perovskite semiconductors to metal oxide thin films, the team focuses on creating next-generation solutions for photovoltaics, supercapacitors, batteries, and P2X technologies.
This visit is not only designed to bridge academia and industry but also to highlight the broader social impact of energy research. By opening the doors to students, engineers, and retired professionals, the tour fosters curiosity, lifelong learning, and community engagement. Visitors will see how cutting‑edge thin film technologies for photovoltaics, supercapacitors, batteries, and P2X can inspire both the next generation and those with a lifetime of experience.
What you’ll see:
- Cutting-edge thin film photovoltaics and energy devices
- Roll-to-Roll (R2R) technology for scaling sustainable energy solutions
- How fundamental research transforms into real-world applications
- New incubator center at SDU
Join us for an inspiring lab visit and discover how SDU CAPE is powering tomorrow’s energy innovations!
