• At SHC 2013, DIGESPO showcased the various CSP advances developed by the project, and presented the following papers during the main conference explaining the advances and contributions made to the CSP domain: 
• Distributed m-CHP Generation from small-scale Concentrated Solar Power; L. Crema, Fondazione Bruno Kessler (paper, slides and video)
• New Cermet Coatings for Mid-Temperature Applications for Solar Concentrated Combined Heat and Power Systems; E. Walkegard, Uppsala University (pdf)
• Two posters were also accepted for the conference:: 
• + Characterization of Selective Laser Melting materials for micro co-generation solar plant components – Polimi and FBK (pdf)
• + Design of a new medium-temperature Stirling engine for distributed cogeneration applications - FPB (pdf)
• Besides the above plenary presentations, DIGESPO also held a dedicated workshop as a side-event during the conference on Monday, September 23, 2013 at 16:15 to present the research results in further detail.
