EUREC is the leading association of research centres and university departments active in the area of renewable energy (www.eurec.be). The purpose of the association is to promote and support the development of innovative technologies and human resources to enable a prompt transition to a sustainable energy system.

EUREC Agency’s activities are divided into four main categories:

• NETWORKING: facilitating exchange of information to improve scientific knowledge and expertise on the latest technology as well as policy developments in the area of renewable energy technologies.
  

• PROJECT DEVELOPMENT: fostering joint project development amongst its members, as well as widely promoting and disseminating research results. EUREC is involved in the Secretariat of two European Technology Platforms:
• On Renewable Heating and Cooling (www.rhc-platform.org)
• On Photocoltaics (www.eupvplatform.org) 

• POLICY INPUTS: definition of common positions related to policy dossiers of interest to the renewable energy research community (e.g. Framework Programmes, SET-Plan, financing instruments…). The latest information on policy documents can be downloaded from the EUREC Agency’s website.
  

• EDUCATION AND TRAINING: coordination of the European Master in Renewable Energy, taught in nine universities across Europe (www.master.eurec.be).
