Project description
Assisting Armenia to shift to clean energy solutions
Planning and implementing the shift to sustainable energy, as promoted by the European Green Deal, is a complex endeavour that requires consideration of technical, social, political, and economic factors. Armenia’s landlocked and geopolitically tense position further complicates its efforts to transition to clean and renewable energy sources. The EU-funded STREACS project aims to enhance research capacity in Armenia with the goal of accelerating its adoption of clean energy technologies and improving energy security. This increased capacity will also support Armenia in becoming more integrated and effective within the European Research Area. The project will facilitate the transfer of knowledge, exchange of best practices, and engagement in specific academic networks involving EU research institutions and partners.
Objective
A key tenet of the European Green Deal (EGD) is to build clean and renewable energy capacity as a key step toward decarbonisation while providing energy security. Planning and implementing the transition to a decarbonized, sustainable, and resilient energy regime is a complex technical, social, political, and economic process. In the case of Armenia, its landlocked and tense geopolitical position in the South Caucasus adds to the complexity of its energy transition efforts. STREACS aims to enhance the research capacity in Armenia to support the country’s efforts to accelerate its energy transition toward clean and renewable energy sources, while enhancing its energy security. Importantly, such enhanced capacity will also enable Armenia to become better integrated into and a more productive actor in the European Research Area. STREACS will facilitate the transfer of knowledge, exchange of best practices, and inclusion in domain-specific academic networks from research institutions and partners in the EU.
