The EERA Scientific Webinar Series is an online initiative launched by the EERA Joint Programme Committee (JP COM), with the support of the EERA Secretariat. It showcases the work of EERA's Joint Programmes and how their researchers are tackling key energy challenges.
Agenda 2026 - 2027
Session 1: FAIR Data and Digital Frameworks for Renewable Technology Deployment
The first session covered how FAIR data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable), common standards, digital platforms and interoperable infrastructures can improve data sharing, collaboration and decision-making in renewable energy research and innovation. It addressed data quality, interoperability, cybersecurity and long-term data stewardship and involved JP Wind, Digitalisation for Energy, Hydropower, Nuclear Materials, AMPEA, Smart Cities and Geothermal.
Session 2: Critical raw materials & circulation
Session 2 will examine Europe's demand for critical raw materials in clean energy technologies and how circularity, recovery and resource efficiency can reduce dependencies. Involving JP e3s, Digitalisation for Energy, AMPEA, Smart Cities, Geothermal, Energy Storage, Photovoltaic Solar Energy and Nuclear Materials.
Session 3: Long-Duration Energy Storage
Session 3 delves into technologies capable of storing energy over extended periods to support a renewable-based energy system, from thermal and chemical storage to pumped hydropower. Involving JP Concentrated Solar Power, Hydropower, Photovoltaic Solar Energy, AMPEA, Geothermal, Energy Storage and Nuclear Materials.
Session 4: Scaling the made in Europe
Session 4 discusses how Europe can turn research excellence into industrial manufacturing capabilities, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and deployment. Involving JP e3s, Photovoltaic Solar Energy, AMPEA, Smart Cities, Digitalisation for Energy and Nuclear Materials.
Session 5: Perspectives on batteries
Session 5 examines advances in battery technologies, emerging storage solutions and the challenges of scaling energy storage to support renewable energy integration. Involving JP Concentrated Solar Power, Hydropower, AMPEA, Nuclear Materials and Energy Storage.
Session 6: Hybrid renewable systems
Session 6 is about how different renewable energy technologies can be combined through innovative materials, energy storage and system integration to create more flexible energy systems. Involving JP AMPEA, Concentrated Solar Power, Hydropower, Energy Storage and Nuclear Materials.
