In the framework of the research project “Innovative design of stable, efficient, and in-situ regenerable nanocatalysts for CO₂ recycling through CO₂ methanation and dry (CO₂) reforming of methane”, the research teams of the Technical University of Crete and the University of Ioannina, as a demonstration of their constructive and productive collaboration, presented their experimental results at the 14th International Conference on Material Science and Engineering Technology (ICMSET 2025), held on 21–24 November 2025 in Osaka, Japan.

The research teams were represented by Professor and Principal Investigator of the University of Ioannina, Dr. M. Karakassidis. The presented work, entitled “CO₂ methanation over Ni nanoparticles dispersed on CeO₂ supports: the effect of support synthesis method and the resulting nano-configurations”, was honored with the Best Poster Presentation Award (Best Award – Best Poster Presentation).

The research project is funded under the H.F.R.I. (ELIDEK) Action “Funding for Basic Research (Horizontal Support of All Sciences)” of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0”, with the financial support of the European Union – NextGenerationEU (Project No.: ELIDEK 16916).
