OPET News - Energy technologies promotion network newsletter
The OPET Network (Organizations for the Promotion of Energy Technologies) has launched a new newsletter, designed to keep members and users updated on developments and activities in Community energy policy. The newsletter, OPET News, will be published every six weeks by the OPET Coordination Unit. The first issue follows up the re-launch of the OPET Network, at a meeting in Brussels in January 1997. It provides information on the activities of the network members, including forthcoming events, and spotlights individual energy projects. The OPET Network is a collaboration between the INNOVATION programme and the JOULE/THERMIE Non-nuclear Energy programme. Its aim is to assist in the dissemination of appropriate energy technologies to reduce consumption of non-sustainable energies. Members of the network work directly with market actors in their region, raising awareness of new technologies, and promoting technology transfer, innovation, exploitation of research results and collaboration between researchers and industry.
