One Vision.
One Mission.
Shared Beliefs.

EERA's mission, vision, and beliefs define how Europe's energy research community works together to shape science-based policy and innovation.

In our evolving European landscape, EERA refined its vision, mission, and beliefs in the beginning of 2026 to strengthen strategic clarity and collective alignment. The updated framework provides a shared reference for how Europe’s low-carbon energy research community collaborates, engages with policymakers, and contributes to shaping the next phase of European research and innovation, including preparations for FP10.

We are living through a period of growing geopolitical uncertainty, rapid change and rising tensions. In response, the EERA community took the time to reflect on who we are, what we stand for and the values that guide our work. That reflection has given us, as a community, a clearer compass for navigating collectively today's increasingly complex landscape.
ADEL EL GAMMAL, EERA SECRETARY GENERAL
