Poster Award for Sebastian Hummer at the 5th DOSChem Symposium 2025 🌟

On 25 – 26th September, the 5th DOSChem Symposium 2025 brought together early-stage researchers from across disciplines in Vienna to share their scientific advances. Among them was Sebastian Hummer, PhD candidate at Universität Wien, who presented his work within the DCDYNAMIC project.

Sebastian’s research focuses on developing economically viable recycling processes for used cable materials. His contribution to Work Package 6 targets the catalytic degradation of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) through homogeneous metal-organic catalyst systems – an approach that supports the DCDYNAMIC project objective to reduce HVDC insulation components’ climate footprint through sustainable product design.

We are delighted to share that Sebastian’s poster was recognised with a Poster Award, highlighting the relevance and quality of his contribution to innovations in XLPE recycling.

🎉 Congratulations to Sebastian for this poster award!

DCDYNAMIC Partners Meet in Karlskrona

Beginning of July, partners from The University of Manchester, ETH ZĂĽrich, Shell and NKT convened for an in-person meeting hosted at NKT’s high-voltage cable factory in Karlskrona, Sweden. The agenda was centred on enhancing inter-work package coordination, in-depth discussions about technical progress and shared challenges. The programme also featured a guided tour of NKT’s manufacturing facility,  providing a tangible connection to the project’s ambition of advancing 320 kV HVDC dynamic export cable technologies.

Such meetings are vital for aligning the interdisciplinary research efforts of DCDYNAMIC with the practical needs of cable manufacturing for floating offshore substation. By promoting technical exchange and strengthening working relationships, the consortium progresses toward its mission to advance reliable and sustainable cable technology for European electricity grids.
