Presentation of FIT-TO-NZEB program during the 10th International Scientific Conference on Energy and Climate Change of the PROMITHEASnet – the Energy and Climate Change network.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I’m offering is the truth, nothing more.
Presented by Hans Nilsson, Chairman of the IEA DSM Programme on behalf of David Elzinga at the IEA DSM workshop in Stockholm, Sweden on 6 October 2010.
Ensuring European Energy Transition: key research and innovation actions need...Leonardo ENERGY
Konstantin Staschus and Sophie Dourlens will present the new ETIP SNET Implementation Plan (IP) 2017-2020 which is to be released on 5 October 2017
The Implementation Plan aims at listing the short-term priorities for R&I in ETIP SNET’s scope and as defined by the action 4 of the EU’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan: Increase the resilience, security and smartness of the energy system. It is based upon the ETIP-SNET R&I roadmap 2017-2026 which specifies the long-term R&I activities for the evolution of the European energy system and published in January 2017.
The Implementation Plan is the result of a long and comprehensive stakeholders consultation process which makes it widely recognised by all the European energy transition stakeholders.
