We are proud to announce the official launch of the digital identity and online tools for the COST Action CA24120 – SUSTENET. As part of our commitment to transparency and knowledge sharing, we have made the first project deliverable, “D1 – Creation of the project website, graphical identity and other online tools“, publicly available for download.
A Brand Rooted in Science
The SUSTENET visual identity is more than just a logo; it is a direct reflection of the scientific principles driving our network. The branding is built upon the thermoelectric effect, represented by the striking contrast between Primary Red (the hot side) and Primary Blue (the cold side). This juxtaposition symbolizes the temperature gradient—the Seebeck effect—required to generate clean energy.
At the heart of our identity is the “TE” Monogram:
- The “T” (Hot Side): Rendered in red, it houses a lightning bolt symbolizing the generation of electrical power from heat.
- The “E” (Cold Side): Rendered in blue, it features a green leaf representing the sustainable application of our technology.
- The “NET”: The negative space between the letters reveals two profiles facing each other, representing the human collaboration and networking essential to our Action.
Our Online Hubs
Deliverable D1 outlines the strategic deployment of the tools we use to connect with our stakeholders and the public:
-
Official Website www.sustenet.eu: The central portal for news, technical working group updates, and funding opportunities (Grants). The website you are right now!
-
Social Media: We have established a presence on LinkedIn for professional networking and YouTube to host a permanent library of webinars, lectures, and other visuals.
-
Zenodo Repository: To support Open Science, we have created a dedicated Zenodo community. This ensures our technical outputs are F.A.I.R.-compliant (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and permanently archived.
Here are the links to our Social Media platforms and to the repository, that you can also find in the footer in all pages of this website:
- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sustenet/
- YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@SUSTENET
- Zenodo community: https://zenodo.org/communities/sustenet/

Looking Ahead
These tools are designed to facilitate the Action’s endeavour for the transition toward a sustainable energy future by bridging the gap between complex research and practical application. We invite you to explore the full deliverable to learn more about our branding strategy, website architecture, and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) we will use to measure our impact.
A branding package will be made available soon, so that all SUSTENET participants can get the official graphic files to use for the documents related to the Action.
