Final dissemination event in Seville
Prof. David Sánchez, Dissemination Coordinator of SCARABEUS
As announced in recent months, a final dissemination event was organised by the SCARABEUS project team with the aim to disclose the most relevant results and outcomes of the project. The event was collocated with the 7th International Seminar on Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Power Systems, held in Seville between September 4th and 6th. This conference takes place every two years, organised by the Knowledge Centre on Organic Rankine Cycle Technology – KCORC (reference organisation for the dissemination of all information related to ORC technology research, development and education).
The SCARABEUS dissemination event was held on Wednesday, September 6th, parallel to and jointly with the sessions of ORC 2023 and with the following agenda:

Salvatore Guccione (Royal Institute of Technology KTH, Stockholkm), invited speaker at the event
The event was well attended and the opportunity to cross sessions with ORC 2023 was very much appreciated by the attendees. The representatives of the SARABEUS partners disclosed the activities carried out in each work package during the morning sessions. In the afternoon, the invited speakers -Dr. Cristina Prieto and Salvatore Guccione- provided the attendees with very new information about recently awarded EU projects that will enable the further maturation and exploitation of the SCARABEUS technology.
