ENERGY FOR FUTURE

Objective

Fundación Iberdrola España (FIBE) is the non-profit Foundation in Spain of the IBERDROLA Group (one of the most important global energy leaders with the main activities in ES, UK, US, MX and BR) and the beneficiary of the programme “ENERGY FOR FUTURE – E4F” (E4F will be used as the short description in all programme processes). E4F is within the clean and sustainable energy field (Photovoltaic and Wind Energy, Energy Storage, Smart Grids and Electric Vehicle, etc).
E4F’s main objectives focus on the: (1) attraction of outstanding worldwide Experienced Researchers (ERs); (2) the improvement of the working and employment conditions; (3) development of an innovative and attractive training programme; (4) creation of an Open-Access and Open-Data research culture; and (5) possibility to provide commitment of the beneficiary FIBE and Partner Organisations with the European Charter & Code for Researchers. To achieve that, E4F will count with the participation of 19 European (ES, UK, FR and DE) and non-European (US and MX) academic and industrial partner organisations as hosting and/or secondment entities.
E4F is based on a 60-months (5 years) Fellowship Programme that will recruit 28 ERs in two calls (14 ERs per call). Each postdoctoral fellowship will have a duration of 24 months, promoting mobility both between countries, and academic and industrial sector with: i) 18-21 months hosting periods; ii) 3-6 months intersectoral secondments; and iii) training and communication & dissemination activities.
Noteworthy, E4F aims at the next generation of low-carbon energy technologies and energy efficiency potential, being aligned with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Horizon Europe and the EU Green Deal programmes, and the EU Energy Roadmap 2050 targets. In addition, FIBE and all partner organizations are aware of the current COVID-19 pandemic and its associated risks (as well as other future similar issues) suggesting solutions for the implementation of E4F.
