The HYDROPOWER-EUROPE project is built on the ambition to achieve a research and innovation agenda and a strategic industry roadmap 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.
Following this vision over the past 2 years, the Hydropower Europe Forum has been created to facilitate communication with all stakeholders within the European hydropower value sector. The Forum now comprises nearly 600 different representatives and has been active in helping to develop the hydropower research and innovation agenda and strategic industry roadmap.
A special one-day session will now be held – in series with the HydroES 2021 conference in Lyon, to introduce the conclusions from this extensive programme of consultation and planning by presenting the results of the Research and Innovation Agenda, as well as the Strategic Industry Roadmap.
The HYDROPOWER EUROPE Forum dissemination event will be held at ENS Lyon on Wednesday 22nd September 2021. Participation can be either online or in person at the event, and is free regardless of mode of participation. Please register for this HYDROPOWER EUROPE event using the form below or via the Hydro-ES event website, where you can also register for the wider programme of Hydro-ES 2021 events. The Hydro-ES 2021 conference website can be found here.
The 1-day, HYDROPOWER EUROPE dissemination event comprises four sessions:
| Session 1: | Challenges for hydropower in Europe today |
| Session 2: | Needs for research and development - The Research and Innovation Agenda (RIA) |
| Session 3: | Supporting Industry - Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR) |
| Session 4: | The future of the HYDROPOWER EUROPE Forum |
