WORKSHOP – Leopold Hotel Brussels EU, 13 September 2017

START building your consortium with excellent partners in the field of bioenergy NOW

A dedicated workshop/brokerage event on project generation in the field of bioenergy is organised in Brussels (venue tbd) by SINTEF and the Research Council of Norway, in cooperation with a multi-disciplinary team represented by Norwegian and European actors.

WHY
The aim of this event is to generate and develop projects responding to the bioenergy challenges addressed by the Horizon 2020 framework programme for the time frame 2018-2019, by connecting industry, the scientific community, and the public sector. It will provide a unique opportunity to make new contacts, establish new partnerships and develop projects in a multisector approach.

WHO
This event targets a wide spectrum of participants with complementary skills, both in terms of expertise as well as project roles (from project participants to project coordinators, via project idea owners). It targets the following groups:

• Norwegian bioenergy community
• European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) JP Bioenergy
• European Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP) Bioenergy
• European Regions Research and Innovation Network (ERRIN)

WHAT & HOW
The workshop/brokerage event is planned as a full-day event, focusing on relevant bioenergy topics addressing stationary bioenergy (heating, power, and cooling), bioenergy carriers and biofuels. You can find detailed information on the topics here.

After an initial presentation of the relevant topics, there will be parallel working group sessions focusing on distinct topics, with the participation of National Contact Points for H2020 Energy to support and advice during the discussions.

In order to make the workshop efficient, structured and successful, the participants are invited to provide an outline of their project ideas/expertise and/or challenges prior to the event by filling in this form and sending it to berta.guell@sintef.no no later than 5 September.
