On June 26 and 27, 2024, the first virtual event of the Energytran scientific cooperation project took place, an initiative coordinated by the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI) in collaboration with the European Commission through funding from the Horizon Europe program and involving 11 European and Latin American institutions. The meeting is the first in a series of discussion and debate activities that will take place until the end of 2025 around the need to move towards transformations in the energy systems of our region.
