Project description
17th annual Strategic Energy Technologies Plan Conference
In a world grappling with climate change, the need for innovative, sustainable energy solutions has never been more pressing. With this in mind, the EU-funded SETPlan 2023 project aims to bring together experts, policymakers, and stakeholders in the 17th SET Plan Conference that will take place in Viladecans from 13 to 14 November. Key stakeholders will discuss the most pressing issues stemming from the revamped SET Plan. The agenda features high-level panels in critical areas, including technological sovereignty, energy system resilience, climate-neutral industries, and decarbonisation of the European Solar Strategy, among others. With the participation of key Spanish authorities, the conference promises to promote energy research and innovation across the EU.
Objective
FECYT, as a foundation in charge of supporting the Ministry of Science of Spain, presents a proposal to host the SET Plan Conference 2023 in Barcelona, Spain, during the Spanish Presidency of the EU.
The Conference will take place in Barcelona on 13 - 14 November 2023. The agenda includes 3 high-level panels dedicated to technological sovereignty, energy system resilience and the European Solar Strategy, where we expect the attendance of Commissioners Simson and Gabriel. In addition to this, 4 thematic sessions dedicated to Energy Storage, Energy Efficiency, Offshore technologies, and biofuels will take place, as well as interactive sessions for crosscutting issues.
The event will count with the attendance of the Spanish Minister of Science and Innovation, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism, and the Spanish Minister for Ecological Transition. The first day will be closed by a formal dinner. The Conference will promote energy research and innovation across the EU and enable discussions among different public and private stakeholders.
The results will include, among others, recommendations for the SET Plan Implementation Working Groups, and for the future of the EU research and innovation programmes.
