OPET Network: Events scheduled for May-June 1993

OPET (Organization of the Promotion of Energy Technology) is an important initiative of the THERMIE programme. It targets the analysis and evaluation of market potential, technology assessment, dissemination of information on the rational use of energy, and industrial cooperation with third countries.

OPETs are experienced organizations selected by THERMIE for their expertise in the relevant dissemination activities. A total of 40 are now established throughout the Community.

Central and Eastern Europe are considered a priority, and actions are consolidated with support given under other Community programmes such as TACIS and PHARE.
