☀️ WP6 Update: Communication, Dissemination, Exploitation & Life Cycle Assessments

In WP6, our objective is to evaluate the environmental, social and economic impacts of the advanced PV manufacturing solutions developed in the project. We also work to identify market potential, support exploitation and business‑model development, monitor new IPR opportunities, and ensure broad communication and dissemination of project results across the PV community.
