PROMETHEUS RI aims to be a national and European reference point in the fields of clean energy and green transport. The uniqueness of the infrastructure and the inherent ability to offer a high level of applied research will attract the interest of academic organizations and companies on an international level.

PROMETHEUS will utilize the existing facilities of the partners as a starting point and will add a number of upgraded facilities / units to create a complete innovative platform unique on a national level and among a few internationally. The proposed infrastructure will assist research locally, nationally and internationally through activities that will ensure its functionality, offering:

(i) networking capabilities

(ii) possibilities for evaluating / comparing different fuel technologies, material processes and their applications

(iii) ability to integrate specific technologies into integrated energy management systems

(iv) technologies based on Life Cycle Analysis and Impact Analysis

(v) a solid ground for the definition in the future of the most efficient renewable energy sources / processes.

The plan for the utilization of the results that will come from the activities of PROMETHEUS RI includes actions for their potential evolution into economically and technically viable solutions. The organizations involved are already members of important networks both nationally (eg CHORUS Energy Enterprise Cluster) and internationally (eg EU SOLARIS, ECCSEL, etc.). Therefore, the proposed integrated infrastructure will be directly integrated into such networks.

The utilization of the outcomes that will result from the activities of the RI will lead to measurable regional and national benefits, in terms of the currently limited, promotion of Greece in the relevant sectors, but also of the creation of growth in the form of new innovative spin-offs and finally new jobs.

The way in which the outcomes will be usable is directly related to the status under which the outcomes have been produced and the "User" - "Infrastructure" relationship. However, in general, the ways of exploiting the outcomes will include:

• the development of the RI website through which the actions and services available to users will be promoted as well as the results of successful collaborations, promoting the long-term and more direct communication of the infrastructure with academic / research and business organizations in Greece and abroad

• the presentation of scientific and technological results in international and national scientific conferences, scientific journals, periodicals of relevant bodies, etc. for the dissemination of knowledge, and the promotion of the RI

• the promotion of new innovative products, processes and services that will emerge from the RI through brochures, posters at relevant conferences, exhibitions, technological events, etc., aiming to attract interest for research services by the RI (eg collaborations in European research programs, business research and development projects) as well as the expansion of the RI's customer base by attracting additional potential partners from both the private and public sectors (nationally and internationally)

• the strengthening and protection of innovation by patenting based on the outcomes of the project, in order to produce "useful" research with a direct impact on society, through innovative products

• the presentation of the outcomes and the new infrastructures, innovative products, processes and research services of RI, strengthening the identity of the RI as a center of scientific excellence and as a point of reference and provision of research services in the wide range of technologies that form the core of PROMETHEUS.
