Come and participate in discussions with world-class speakers, including academics, industry leaders and representatives of the EU energy policy sector. The EUA-Platform of Universities in Energy Research and Education (EUA-EPUE) is recognised by the European Commission as the main representative of universities in energy matters. The Energy Clustering Events (ECEs) are strongly dialogue-oriented to raise the voice of the university sector in the field of energy.
Universities and the UNI-SET Energy Clustering Events
The ECEs are platforms for high-level discussion and for identifying partners in higher education and research to contribute to this high end. The events are organised in the framework of the FP7 UNI-SET project (UNIversities in the SET-Plan) aimed to mobilise the European universities research, innovation and educational capacities for the SET-Plan. The project is coordinated by the European University Association (EUA) and implemented in partnership with KU Leuven, representing the universities in EIT InnoEnergy.
Multidisciplinarity is a key characteristic of the ECEs, by pooling the expertise of researchers and educators from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds and experience. In considering ‘energy’ and its related issue ‘climate change’ from a very open perspective, from typical engineering, science and technology fields to economics, social sciences and humanities, all EUA universities are encouraged and welcome to be part of the energy-related activities.
