EERA - HYDROPOWER EUROPE consults stakeholders in regional workshopsHydropower in Europe is undergoing a great number of future challenges. To face this unique set of policy, environmental, societal, technological and market challenges, the hydropower sector needs to become more cost competitive and find novel approaches to future development in accordance with environmental and social demand. The HYDROPOWER EUROPE project is built on the ambition to achieve a Research and Innovation Agenda (R&IA) and a Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR) for the hydropower sector, based on the synthesis of technical fora and transparent public debates through a forum that gathers all relevant stakeholders of the hydropower sector. Through a 3-year consultation process which includes wider online, expert workshops and a series of regional and Brussels based events, HYDROPOWER EUROPE will collect views and inputs of stakeholders from all the different sectors and topics of hydropower (hydro industry and engineering, finance and insurance investors, policy-makers at the national and EU-level, research academia, civil society, etc). |

Hydropower DamsHYDROPOWER EUROPE is an EU-funded project that aims to create a Forum gathering all the hydropower stakeholders throughout Europe. The project is currently undertaking a consultation process directed at collecting input from such stakeholders, with the ultimate goal of achieving a Research and Innovation Agenda (RIA) and a Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR) for the sector. A vital part of the consultation process will take place at three one-and-a half day regional workshops, organized to discuss regional issues and hydropower challenges in three different climatic regions, with the intervention of expert industry and high-level official speakers. During the events, groups of participants will also lay out analyses for hydropower-related statements and exchange their views on the two main documents (RIA, SIR). |
