The role of Research and Innovation in the green recovery

21 October 2020
FSR Conversations

Conversation with Hélène Chraye, Head of Unit ‘Clean Energy Transition’ at DG Research EC

Research and Innovation are crucial in delivering on Europe’s recovery and speeding up the green transition.
How to accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral energy sector, what priorities to follow, how to improve market uptake of research output, how to foster EU competitiveness and leadership in the global technological competition are the questions we will address during the conversation moderated by Prof. Andris Piebalgs and Prof. Christopher Jones (FSR Gas).
