1 promoted in Colombia new technologies with low environmental impact. Dye Sensitized Solar Cells "Training, research + development and technological promotion of Dye Sensitized Solar Cells in Colombia" Capacity building Transference and access to new technologies Swiss technology Nanotechnology New photovoltaic's devices Research + Colombia National University Awareness Environmental Technologies Opto-electronic devices with low environmental impact and low costs Swiss center of competence in eco technologies, sustainable development and employment generation

2 1 DSSC-Colombia / Methodology The methodology and project organization is established in three main phases: Training, Research & and Sensitization. / Methodology Runtime: 4 years Total cost: CHF training Research + Awareness 4 Awareness Incorporation to the latest technologies to the research Human capital development through laboratory, lab consumables 5 contact advanced training in and bibliography. strategic areas such as nanotechnology applied to low-cost third-generation Consolidation of the photovoltaic devices. research team in the area of research developed. Promotion and dissemination through a program that inputs in the practical application of new technologies for renewable energy production systems that are less polluting than traditional.

3 / Metodology 2 Training Within the context of the project, the capacity building will allow teachers and students increase their understanding of manufacturing technology, characterization and simulation of optoelectronic devices based on semiconducting oxides and organic materials. In addition, participating institutions will give them well-trained researchers work programs meet specific research as required. The Colombian research team has extensive experience in development projects, helping to ensure compliance with the proposed objectives. 4 Awareness Academic activities Courses of the operating principle of DSSC devices and characterization of materials and DSSC devices. Theoretical models used to analyze the results of the characterization of DSSC devices and materials. Learning the technologies used in the manufacture of sensitized solar cells. Specific activities Attendance at an scientific event in Europe per year from a researcher. An internship of 6 months training in Graetzel solar cell technology, including development of the entire device in the laboratory and transit to the production of modules. An internship of 6 months to work on theoretical simulation of EIS measurements. An internship of 6 months in the first semester to work on the development of organic and inorganic cells.

4 3 Research + / Methodology It is proposed to create the necessary infrastructure for experimental development of scientific work, particularly with the complementation of a laboratory with adequate equipment and conditions to develop research activities assigned. Since the formation of human resources in both theoretical and experimental knowledge develops a plan of activities designed to maintain the flow of knowledge generated through new research and scientific publications. 4 Awareness Academic activities Preparation and characterization of semiconductor heterostructures based on TiO2 photoelectrodes. Specific activities Manufacture of prototypes sensitized solar cell. Optoelectronic characterization. Study and application of a theoretical model to give photocurrent spectrum at steady state. Study and experimentation of new techniques for obtain thin film. Creation of new areas of research within the scientific group. Proposal of publications per year.

5 4 Awareness / Metodology Technology promotion in Colombia of the sensitized solar cells through defined actions in education and practical application provides a comprehensive program of awareness of technologies with low environmental impact. Which introduces these eco-technology for your application and direct benefit and their outreach in communities, organizations and institutions that perform the actions. 2 Trainig 4 Awareness Activities of the Sensitization Seminars and informative lectures at Colombian universities. Conducting sensitization programs on the use of low environmental impact technologies, with emphasis on photovoltaic technology, the radio station and TV channel National University, as well as commercial stations and TV channels tuned in broad country. Technological Activities Installation of small solar demonstration plant into a cultural center of Bogotá highly visited by tourists from all over the country. Dissemination of project and program specific promotion via the website Ecotechsy, and the National University of Colombia, and other websites related to the project in general. Installation of small solar plants in a rural area of high social impact.
