There are currently no active calls for applications.INRiM announces a research startup grant titled “Production and characterization, via radio-frequency dielectric spectroscopy, of reference samples for detecting the state of charge of thermal energy storage systems based on water adsorption in zeolites.”

The activity, which will last 6 months, will be carried out under the supervision of Dr. Luca Callegaro at the INRiM headquarters in Turin, and will focus on the development of a low-frequency spectroscopic method for the direct determination of the water content adsorbed in commercial zeolite samples.

To be eligible for the grant, applicants must meet one of the following requirements:

• Hold a Master’s Degree in Energy and Nuclear Engineering or in Materials Science and Engineering;
• Have obtained a degree from a foreign university that has been declared "equivalent" by the competent Italian universities or the Ministry of University and Research.

Applications deadline: February 23, 2026, at 11:59 PM.
