Below you can find the initial event announcement.

May 16, 2019 in Munich in the framework of Intersolar Europe: an event co-organized by SOLAR-ERA.NET and ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems, that will feature a variety of interesting presentations and workshops on accelerating the transition to a smart and sustainable energy system with smart solar power in Europe.

 

About the Event – Why participate?

SOLAR-ERA.NET and ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems will launch Joint Calls in autumn 2019. The event is an opportunity for the research and development community, industry representatives, investors and funding partners to meet and work together on transnational level and create added value on the topic of Smart Solar Power in Europe. The aim is to foster trans¬national cooperation with complementary skills, equipment and facilities, along the value chain from research to industry and to increase the reach out to the different markets in Europe and beyond. Both networks bring together R&D and innovation programmes across Europe and have so far supported some 100 transnational projects involving some 500 organisations in Europe. The event will feature a variety of interesting presentations and workshops on accelerating the transition to a smart and sustainable energy system with smart solar power in Europe. The event is a public side event at the Intersolar Europe.

Organisers

SOLAR-ERA.NET is a network bringing together more than 20 RTD and innovation programmes in the field of solar electricity technologies in the European Research Area. The network of national and regional funding organizations has been established in order to increase transnational cooperation between RTD and innovation programmes and to contribute to achieving the objectives of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) through dedicated transnational activities. Find more information on SOLAR-ERA.Net here.
 
ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems (ERA-Net SES) is a joint programming platform of owners and managers from 30 national and regional public funding programmes in the field of research, technical development and demonstration from 23 countries. It initiates and finances transnational RDD projects in thematic areas like smart power grids, regional and local energy systems, heating and cooling networks, digital services, etc. The platform is providing a knowledge community, where experts meet in workshops, webinars and on the tailor-made digital knowledge platform expera. In the knowledge community more than 30 projects closely cooperate with partners from industry, network and infra-structure providers, research and academia as well as regions and cities, dealing with technology, market and adoption. Together with associated partners from regional business and government, the start-up and SME sector, additional financers and funders as well as ICT providers, the joint programming platform provides an innovation eco-system, building bridges in the whole innovation chain.
