Driving EU Competitiveness through Low-Carbon Energy Research & Innovation
16 - 16 October 2024
On 16 October 2024 BEPA Secretary General, Fabrice Stassin will be speaking at the EERA event on energy research and innovation.
A crucial aspect of the success of the European Green Deal lies in effectively executing the Clean Energy Transition (CET), a process entailing a comprehensive transformation of the energy system to realise a fair, environmentally sustainable, competitive, and climate-neutral society by 2050.
The EERA community firmly believes that energy research and innovation (R&I) is essential for simultaneously advancing all aforementioned CET aspects. However, R&I is often overlooked as a key factor in boosting competitiveness.
In a context of intense international competition, rising protectionism, and geopolitical tensions, this year’s EERA flagship conference will shine a light on energy R&I as a fundamental driver of competitiveness in Europe’s journey to radically transform its energy system and a pillar of the Union’s strategic autonomy. The conference will also draw on insights from a complementary technology and policy-oriented report, offering actionable recommendations from Europe’s most extensive energy research network.
More than just a platform to unveil this timely report and its findings, the conference will feature renowned keynote speakers and facilitate insightful discussions among academics, policymakers, industry representatives, and professionals on the vital role of energy R&I in achieving Europe’s strategic objectives.
