The EERA Policy Working Group is working within the structure of the European Energy Research Alliance and focuses on policy issues relevant to EERA’s strategy. The group contributes to ensuring that EERA is an active player in European energy R&I policy development and follows the developments closely together with experts from the various members. The Policy Working Group prepares regularly policy updates and makes them available to its members.

The Weekly Policy Updates are short newsletters including information on the EU institutional agenda for the week to come, as well as news and events in Brussels related to climate, energy and R&I policy.

The working of the Policy Group is explained in a video.
