ABSTRACT<br />
Switzerland is internationally renown for its pioneering research & development (R&D) regarding photoelectrchemical<br />
(PEC) water-splitting. However, given a multitude of upcoming staffing, scientific<br />
and funding challenges, PECNet aimed to develop and grow a well coordinated national and international<br />
strengthened and cross-linked PEC R&D program as well as to reach extension of ressources.<br />
PECNet’s aproach was four-fold: (i) Know-how transfer from Switzerland’s retiring PEC experts, (ii)<br />
pooling of Switzerland’s active R&D expertise in PEC and thin-film PV relevant to PEC water-splitting,<br />
(iii) development of a 4-7 year national PEC R&D program that is aligned with international key efforts,<br />
and (iv) submission of a winning bid to the EU-FP7 for funding of a 4+3 year PEC R&D program.<br />
After almost 2 years of operation, PECNet can look back to a series of respectful results as it has<br />
been possible to establish a strongly networked national R&D group in PEC water-splitting. More<br />
specifically, key know-how from retiring PEC-pioneers has been secured, a national PEC R&D plan<br />
implemented, a Swiss PEC centre named „PEChouse“ at EPFL established, national R&D competences<br />
relevant to PEC water-splitting coordinated and grown by PEChouse, significant additional<br />
R&D funding secured (EU-FP7 NanoPEC, Marie Curie, SNF Swiss National Science Foundation, …)<br />
and international R&D collaboration expanded (IEA-HIA Annex-26).<br />
There are no doubts that PECNet can be concluded at the beginning of <strong>2009</strong> as a very successful<br />
and internationally well received as well as integrated Know-how and Technology Transfer (KTT)<br />
project.<br />
