Stakeholder workshop of the SUNRISE "Solar energy for a circular economy" project SUNRISE is preparing a large-scale research initiative in the field of artificial photosynthesis as a sustainable alternative to the fossil-based, energy-intensive production of fuels and base chemicals. The energy required will be provided by sunlight. The Stakeholder Workshop, taking place during the EU Sustainable Energy Week, will open the floor for supporters to provide feedback on the S&T roadmap and governance of the future large-scale initiative and feature high-level speakers. Transport and Mobility Climate Change and Environment Food and Natural Resources 17 June 2019 - 18 June 2019 Brussels, Belgium © SUNRISE Since 1 March 2019, the SUNRISE ("Solar energy for a circular economy") project is preparing a large-scale research initiative in the field of artificial photosynthesis as a sustainable alternative to the fossil-based, energy-intensive production of fuels and base chemicals. The energy required will be provided by sunlight and the raw materials will be molecules abundantly available in the atmosphere, such as water, carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen.We cordially invite you to join us for a SUNRISE Stakeholder Workshop on 17 and 18 June 2019 in Brussels. During these two days, we will give you an insight into SUNRISE, present the current state of our work and open manifold opportunities for you to contribute to the definition of the future large-scale initiative. Topics covered will include - "Priority Research Directions" of scientific topics which will feed into a comprehensive S&T roadmap- Discussions on the governance of the future initiativeThe meeting will take place in connection with the European Sustainable Energy Week and feature high-level speakers.A detailed agenda can be found attached.Participation is free of charge, however we kindly ask you to register before 3 June 2019: https://fs10.formsite.com/FTqajW/u9xxnpeyaq/index.htmlFurther information on SUNRISE and the workshop can be found under http://sunriseaction.eu Keywords Chemical engineering, Materials engineering, Chemical sciences, Biological sciences, Nanotechnology, Earth and related environmental sciences, Solar conversion systems, Solar fuel, Sustainable chemistry, Circular economy, Artificial photosynthesis, Co-Electrolysis, Direct solar conversion, Synthetic biology
