The PHEMAC iHub now live

Conceived as a tool to stimulate visibility and re-use of results, the iHub is a central component of the PHEMAC project which collects and disseminates information about projects funded by various agencies that publicly share their data.


This knowledge-based platform is composed by 4 main elements designed to enhance cross-fertilization of different territorial experiences and multidisciplinary collaboration:

  • A dissemination tool called Plaza that consists of a virtual “Agorà”, a web space that is populated automatically with news, information, tweets, etc about the main themes covered by the PHEMAC project: all this content is grouped in “Flows”, each one dedicated to a specific topic. Access it here: https://www.phemac.eu/agora/

  • A marketplace called Rialto which has been conceived as a repository and match-making on-line tool to create a ‘virtual space for innovation’. This is the heart of Ihub and its goal is to facilitate the encounter between technology users and technology producers/intermediaries in different sectors, maintaining a focus on innovation. Link: https://ihub.phemac.eu/rialto

  • The LINK Job bank, which provides up-to-date information about job opportunities in the geographical area (therefore in the Mediterranean regions) and in the thematic sectors of the PHEMAC project. This service has been designed especially for a younger audience, looking for job opportunities, either in public research centres or in the private sector. Accessible from this link: https://www.phemac.eu/hh_flow/job-bank/

  • Finally, the BPiMED on-line mapping tool allows to classify the projects included in the Rialto marketplace according to a configurable set of best practices according to a controlled set of categories that allow to associate one or more best practices to a project. Try the tool here: https://ihub.phemac.eu/rialto

DARBCO – Solar Cleaning Solutions

DARB was established in 2017 as one of the innovative companies in the MENA region ECO system, aims to solve the problem of dust accumulation over solar panels, by continuous development and manufacturing of automated solar panels cleaning solutions. Solar systems are installed worldwide since it is a clean and cheap energy source, but suffers from the dust accumulation over its surface which affects the feasibility of these solar projects by reducing the energy output and increasing the needed resources for the cleaning process such as water, labour, and time which increase operational costs. DARB has developed an innovative automated solution that guarantees high levels of cleaning efficiency and reliable operations. DARB products are designed to fulfil the desertous weather and dusty areas by integrating high-efficiency cleaning mechanism to reduce the needed water and time without affecting the cleaning results. Since solar panels are sensitive to mechanical interaction that may cause scratches or Micro-cracks, all materials used in the manufacturing of the machines have been especially developed and tested for safe operations.
