EUROSUNMED, in collaboration with one of its partners, EUREC, organized a Workshop on 15th November 2016 in Marrakech, Morocco. The purpose of the workshop was to start a discussion on the so-called Roadmap for EUROSUNMED, the aim of which is to define actions for long-standing cooperation between the involved partners from EU and MPCs in the area of solar energy.
The objective of the second Roadmap workshop was to continue and deepen the discussion amongst relevant stakeholders on the content of the EUROSUNMED Roadmap, which represents a series of activities to ensure that long-standing cooperation is in place between the EU and MPCs on renewable energy technologies, with a focus on solar energy.
About 20 speakers representing the EUROSUNMED Project consortium, its close collaborators and experts in various domains such as : the industry, the education, the bank, ...) animated the workshop. It is estimated that around sixty people attended the workshop at various stages.
