This paper proposes the creation of an Online Rural Lyceum that would enable young people from rural areas to participate in Secondary and Baccalaureate programs. Firstly, it reviews the legislation and policies on rural development; it contemplates the changes that are taking places in rural society and examines the situation of compulsory education in remote areas. It then explores the background of the Online Rural Lyceum project and its main features. Finally, it analyses the strengths and weaknesses of this project, with the aim of contributing to a successful future implementation. ; Este trabajo propone la creación de un Liceo Rural Online para que los jóvenes de zonas rurales puedan acceder a la ESO y Bachillerato. Primero, se analizarán la legislación y las políticas en materia de desarrollo rural; se contemplarán las transformaciones que se están produciendo en la sociedad rural y se abordará la situación de la educación básica obligatoria en las zonas remotas. Después, se expondrán los antecedentes del proyecto y sus rasgos principales. Por último, se abordarán algunos los puntos fuertes y débiles de este proyecto de cara a que su futura realización sea lo más exitosa posible.

Organic–inorganic perovskite structures in which lead is substituted by tin are exceptional candidates for broadband light absorption. Herein we present a thorough analysis of the optical properties of CH3NH3SnxPb1−xI3 films, providing the field with definitive insights about the possibilities of these materials for perovskite solar cells of superior efficiency. We report a user's guide based on the first set of optical constants obtained for a series of tin/lead perovskite films, which was only possible to measure due to the preparation of optical quality thin layers. According to the Shockley–Queisser theory, CH3NH3SnxPb1−xI3 compounds promise a substantial enhancement of both short circuit photocurrent and power conversion efficiency in single junction solar cells. Moreover, we propose a novel tandem architecture design in which both top and bottom cells are made of perovskite absorbers. Our calculations indicate that such perovskite-on-perovskite tandem devices could reach efficiencies over 35%. Our analysis serves to establish the first roadmap for this type of cells based on actual optical characterization data. We foresee that this study will encourage the research on novel near-infrared perovskite materials for photovoltaic applications, which may have implications in the rapidly emerging field of tandem devices ; The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013)/ERC grant agreement no. 307081 (POLIGHT), the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness under grant MAT2014-54852-R.
