Mission and Objectives
EUREC Agency is the voice of renewable energy research in Europe, representing European Research Centres active in renewable energy.
Our members are prominent research and development (R&D) groups spread across Europe, operating in all renewable energy technologies (wind, biomass, small hydro, marine, geothermal, photovoltaics, solar thermal electricity, and solar thermal heating and cooling). Our members also conduct research into supporting technologies such as energy efficiency, storage, distribution and integration, and undertake studies to evaluate the social and economic aspects surrounding renewable energy.
EUREC Agency’s mission is based around three objectives:
- To act as a communication hub for renewable energy research issues for EUREC members and other interest groups or influential bodies like the EU decision-takers, European Technology Platforms, etc.
- To create strong links with the renewable energy industry, fostering contacts and cooperation between members and their counterparts in the industry. These links contribute to define comprehensive R&D strategies, and should facilitate innovation and technology transfer through the promotion of R&D results.
- To take an active part in educating renewable energy engineers. EUREC Agency manages the European Master in Renewable Energy.
EUREC Agency is a founding member of the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) the sector’s umbrella organisation composed of the major European renewable energy associations. EUREC Agency and the European renewable energy industry associations are all represented in Brussels in the Renewable Energy House, near the European institutions.
