ETRERA_2020 IN PALESTINE

The meeting was useful to discuss further Cooperation prospective in the RES in Palestine and to do the status of the art on some activities such us: the Project "SASPARM", the new An-Najah Business Innovation & Partnership Center (NaBIC), the Solar on-Grid energy projects in Tubas electrical company and finally the Renewable Energy Strategy in Palestine by 2020. In order to share the results of the project, a wide range of institutions were invited, in addition to Innova BIC representatives and other regional experts and public authorities. Around 40 experts (national and international) have participated at the event. The participants represented wide spectrum of specialized people in different fields of Renewable Energy (Science and Technology Community, Research Centers, Industry, ESCOs, Policy Maker). Most participants also showed ideas on how to improve next activities, such as increasing interactivity, adding a discussion period in order to exchange experience and knowledge, and post the presentation online. We also had some suggestions pending the need for more workshops in the zone. The meeting was also useful to establish some further cooperation chances. With a very good overall mark, the workshops successfully met the set objectives and it can be said that ETRERA 2020is now more familiar with the territories that it plans to help, which is definitely encouraging.
