The Universitat Jaume I (UJI) is leading an innovative European project to improve energy efficiency in industry through nanotechnology. The Multiphase Fluids Group of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences (ESTCE) co-directs the NANOconVEX initiative, one of the four pilots approved by the European Cooperation in Science & Technology (COST) in 2020.

The *Nanofluids for convective heat transfer devices* (NANOconVEX) project will last one year and has a budget of 125,000 euros. This initiative is one of four COST Innovation Grants (IGC), which aim to improve the pace and success of innovations to build bridges between scientific research carried out through COST actions and projects and both market-oriented applications and social innovation in the field of energy. This is essential for efficiency and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming and climate change. Furthermore, this challenge is also linked to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 7: Affordable and clean energy.

These grants complement existing initiatives on innovation in the Horizon 2020 programme, as it is focused on networking activities and is only available to participants in COST actions. In fact, the Multiphase Fluids Group, attached to the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Construction of the UJI, recently completed the COST Nanouptake Action (Overcoming Barriers to Nanofluids Market Uptake) after having created a network of companies and universities in 25 countries with more than 500 participants to promote the study of a new generation of substances known as *nanofluids*.

The Multiphase Fluids Group, coordinated by lecturer Sergio Chiva, is attached to the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Construction. Its priority lines of research are the experimental characterization of multiphase fluids; the development of instrumentation; the development of mathematical models for the simulation of these fluids, the experimental studies of liquid atomisation and the development and characterisation of nanofluids for energy applications.
