This expert roundtable will explore how Research & Innovation (R&I) can significantly contribute to ensure European energy security and strengthen the competitiveness of the clean tech industry in the EU, in alignment with existing policies and measures.

The event draws from the recently published Independent Expert Study on Clean Energy R&I Opportunities, which aims to prioritise R&I actions that strengthen the EU's long-term energy security by addressing challenges within specific clean energy value chains.

The event will feature high-level speakers and experts. Rosalinde van der Vlies, Director of DG RTD Clean Planet, will open the event, introducing the objectives of the study. The panel will consist of distinguished experts from the European Commission and beyond. This gathering of experts ensures a thorough discussion on the role of R&I to ensure European energy security and the competitiveness of the clean tech industry in the EU, bridging strategic European perspectives with the detailed analysis presented in the study.

STARGATE - Sustainable Aviation

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”.  It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
