The fourth and last newsletter of the CHALLENGE project. Over the last 4 years the CHALLENGE team has been developing new approaches to grow 3C-SiC and exploring potential application of this material. This issue offers an overview of the key take-away messages related to our project results.

The issue also presents the results of the SIC webinar series, a succesful initative organised to disseminateour project results. 

Finally, the issue discloses the participation of CHALLENGE at the European Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2021 (ECSCRM). CHALLENGE team will be there presenting their latest research on 3C-Sic, so do not miss this opportunity! 

The International Workshop Silicon Carbide in Europe 2020 (SiCE-2020) was hosted at the Automotive 2020 Virtual Conference (by AEIT) last November 19^th, 2020, as a special session dedicated to the most exciting results and issues related to Silicon Carbide applications.
CHALLENGE with two other projects, REACTION and WInSiC4AP, organised a scientific forum bringing together leading specialists working in different silicon carbide (SiC) technology areas, both from universities and research centres.

In this issue CHALLENGE project presented the workshop Silicon Carbide in Europe 2020 (SiCE-2020) asking contributions to researchers through the call for abstracts. Moreover, partners presented the new partner in the project Swansea University which brings the Compound Semiconductor Cluster in Wales; the first 4-inch 3C-SiC wafer produced by the project and the recent progress in the growth of bulk 3C-SiC material. Finally CHALLENGE summarizes its participation to EU Sustainable energy week 2019 and researchers’ talks to large public.
