It is organised by the European Commission, and it is the biggest event dedicated to renewable energy sources and efficient energy use in Europe. This events brings together public authorities, private companies, NGOs and consumers to promote initiatives to […]
H2020. Secure, clean and efficient energy : Smart Cities and Communities
To achieve the necessary energy transition in cities, it is essential to increase energy systems integration and to push energy performance levels significantly beyond the levels of current EU building codes and to realize Europe wide deployment of Positive Energy Districts by 2050. Specific Challenge The COP21 Paris Agreement recognises the role of cities and […]
Remote areas can now access electricity and heat
Global climate change is largely driven by increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions linked to fossil fuel combustion. A novel micro-combined heat and power (micro-CHP) system for small, decentralised heating and electricity needs may offer an efficient and eco-friendly alternative. Micro-CHP systems are typically more efficient and thus have lower environmental impact than conventional energy sources. […]

H2020: Secure, clean and efficient energy: Converting Sunlight to storable chemical energy
This project (LC-SC3-RES-29-2019), which aims to convert solar energy into storable chemical products that provide a sustainable alternative, belongs to the Secure, clean and efficient energy sub-programme of the Horizon 2020 Programme. To replace fossil energy with sustainable alternatives that provide the same flexibility and convenience of use, we need to store sustainable energy on […]
EURATOM: Towards joint European effort in area of nuclear materials
This call, focused on developing and consolidating a common European programme in the field of nuclear materials, belongs to the EURATOM sub-programme of the Horizon 2020 Programme. Advanced materials are the very basis of the technological development and industrial innovation. In domain of the nuclear materials, qualification of existing materials for the conditions of nuclear […]
H2020: Secure, clean and efficient energy: Innovative financing for energy efficiency investments
This project aims to achieve innovative financing for energy efficiency investments (LC-SC3-EE-9-2018-2019) within the secure, clean and efficient energy sub-programme of the Horizon 2020 Programme. There is a need to set up innovative financing schemes at regional or national level in order to create the conditions for adequate supply of private finance for energy efficiency […]
EURATOM: Further integrating Radiation Protection research in the EU
This project to achieve greater integration of radiation protection research in the EU is part of the EURATOM sub-programme of the Horizon 2020 Programme. Protecting people and the environment from the potentially harmful effects of ionising radiation remains a challenge in the context of the expansion of radiation-related practices in the EU, especially in the […]
