See agendaSpeakers

10th October | SUNER-C yearly general assembly

The SUNER-C’s yearly general assembly will give you the possibility to be informed about the 1st year’s achievements of our project, plan future steps, and invite new stakeholders to be involved. We will also present some policy aspects and provide elements of context for our initiative within the EU landscape. We will present our vision, highlight the engagement of our community throughout the roadmap development process, introduce some of our international (beyond EU) collaborations, and a keynote speech on the achievements and planning for the future of SUNERGY beyond the SUNER-C.

11th October morning | WP6 Stakeholder Dialogue Workshop

During the stakeholder dialogue session, we will create a dialogue between prominent SUNER-C representatives of research and industry on the one side, and key societal stakeholders on the other side. The goal is to become more aware of the needs and concerns of these stakeholders, like NGOs and unions, in an early stage of technology development, so their interests may be reflected in transition pathways to be taken. There will be discussions with the audience and reflections by more stakeholders to ensure discussion between the quadruple helix (i.e., industry, research, government, and civil society).

11th October afternoon | 3rd  SUNER-C Consortium Meeting

The 3rd SUNER-C consortium meeting will be the opportunity to meet in person, network with colleagues, and work together towards the success of our SUNER-C project. As a representative of a SUNER-C consortium, your participation and that of colleagues of your organisation who will be involved in the project is key.
