The European networks SOLAR-ERA.NET and ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems (ERA-Net SES) organised the „Smart Solar Power in Europe“ event in the framework of Intersolar in Munich on 16 May 2019. Some 80 stakeholders participated in this successful event.
The goals of the event were:
- Learn about the funding opportunities provided by SOLAR-ERA.NET and ERA-Net SES
- Get insight into cornerstones of the EC Strategic Energy Technology Plan for solar power and smart energy systems
- Hear about the new legal framework for Local Energy Communities.
- Exchange with potential project partners and representatives from national funding agencies.
- Explore topics and build new consortia in view of the upcoming Joint Calls.
- Identify success factors based on the experience and lessons learnt within projects supported by SOLAR-ERA.NET and ERA-Net SES.
Below you can find the presentations given and summaries of the workshop session.
