*Bavaria*Israel*Workshop: Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply

*Bavaria*Israel*Workshop: Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply on 17 July 2024

On 17 July 2024 , the Scientific Coordination Office Bavaria-Israel of the Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR) and the Israel-Europe R&I Directorate (ISERD) organize a joint workshop series on 3 “Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply” (Horizon Europe, Cluster 5, Destination 3).

To online registration form

The transition of the energy system will rely on reducing the overall energy demand and making the energy supply side climate neutral, in current and future climate conditions. R&I actions will help to make the energy supply side cleaner, more secure, and competitive by boosting cost performance and reliability of a broad portfolio of renewable energy solutions in line with societal needs and preferences. Topics under “Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply” (Horizon Europe, Cluster 5, Destination 3) support this transition and to contribute to the “Strategic Energy Technology Plan” which aims to accelerate the deployment of green technologies.

This online workshop focuses on selected topics from Destination 3 “Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply” (Horizon Europe, Cluster 5) and invites researchers from academia and R&D driven industry from Bavaria, Israel and other EU countries to explore new cooperation and network opportunities and to get comprehensive insights into how to start and coordinate a Horizon-Europe-proposal. The event is organized by experts of the Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR) and the Israel-Europe R&I Directorate (ISERD).

Parallel breakout sessions (choose one option):

• Breakout session 1: Next generation fuel technologies
  • Development of next generation synthetic renewable fuel technologies (HORIZON-CL5-2024-D3-02-02)
  • Development of smart concepts of integrated energy driven bio-refineries for co-production of advanced biofuels, bio-chemicals and biomaterials (HORIZON-CL5-2024-D3-02-03)
• Breakout session 2: Innovative, Community-Integrated PV systems
  • Innovative, Community-Integrated PV systems (HORIZON-CL5-2024-D3-02-06)

What to expect? Among others, the workshop will address following questions: What are the goals EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan? How to address the selected topics? How to compose a convincing HEU- proposal? How to build a competitive consortium? Why (not) to become a HEU-coordinator? These and further questions will be addressed in our workshop session on July 17 2024.

Description: The action should foster the creation of innovation ecosystems with educational and research institutions, or strengthen their existing links. Proposals should outline activities for supporting educational and research institutions to take a greater entrepreneurial role, e.g. through boosting innovation and entrepreneurship within their activities. The action should also ensure that educational and research institutions’ assets and vision are articulated clearly and in line with respective regional specialisations (such as smart specialisation strategies), so they can easily be integrated into innovation ecosystems and economic value chains.

Budget: 2.5 million EUR

Target Groups: Research and innovation ( related actors such as vocational schools, higher education institutions, public authorities in the field of education and employment, innovation agencies, SMEs, deep tech companies, the European Innovation Council (EIC) and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) start-ups and industry, research performing organisations, knowledge and technology transfer offices and associations, students and researchers.
