SusTec researcher speaks at high-level IEA innovation workshop
SusTec's Christof Knoeri speaks at high-level innovation workshop in Paris that lays foundations for IEA’s new global guidebook on clean energy technologies.
The International Energy Agency held a high-level workshop on 18 December 2019 on ways to accelerate innovation in clean energy technologies. The event was designed to inform the analysis of the 2020 edition of the IEA’s Energy Technologies Perspectives (ETP) publication. For more than a decade, the ETP series has contributed to global energy and environmental policy-making. To enhance the ETP’s relevance to decision-makers in governments and industry, the IEA has decided to revamp the publication and release a new edition in June 2020 with the aim of making it a global guidebook on clean energy technologies.
More than 80 people took part in the workshop. The event brought together top international decision-makers from governments, industry and finance, as well as key experts from leading global research institution and universities. The discussions also involved some of the world’s preeminent experts in technology and innovation from major global research centres such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Imperial College London and ETH Zurich.
