Welcome to the Energy Harvesting Network

The Energy Harvesting Network is an EPSRC funded network of UK academic and industrial researchers and end-users of energy harvesting (EH) technology. Specifically, the primary objectives of the Network are to:

Define new challenges in EH research and address them through new multidisciplinary teams.

Our first workshop was held on the topic of 'Human Power'.
Our second workshop was held on the topic of 'Structural Monitoring'.
Our third workshop will be held on the topic of 'MEMS/NEMS'.

Facilitate the interaction and mobility of EH researchers.

Ensure wide dissemination of the advances in the science and the developments of the technology.

We held Energy Harvesting 2011 on 07 February 2011.

A total of 261 people from 203 companies and institutions are currently registered with the Energy Harvesting Network. For further information about the activities of the network, please visit the 'About the Network' section.
