From the beginning of the project in January 2024 until now, more than 300 people (mostly researchers and technicians from public bodies) have been involved on the Energytran activities such as virtual thematic events, international or national workshops and mobilities. In this sense, mobilities have been one of the most relevant actions to promote knowledge exchange and scientific cooperation networks between LAC and Europe.
Six month ago, we presented the cluster project Energytran on our Newsletter 4º edition, as a good practice to deal with the challenge of energy transition. We introduced the strategies lines implemented on the project to do it focused not only on technological development, but also on social impact of the energy transition, its environmental impact and also the transfer of the knowledge generated by the research cooperation to policy makers. It is not easy to work by this way, but Energytran consortium think that is the only one to generate really a green, fair and equal energy transition.
In addition, on that article the Energytran Consortium was introduced as a complex and multisectoral teams that also we consider essential to tackle the multidisciplinary goal of the decarbonization: 11 partners (now we are 12 because UMAG was incorporated an associated partner from Chile). Concretely, we are two European Research Infrastructures Consortium – ERIC- (one for Energy and other for Environment) that involved 18 institutions from Spain, France, Germany, Cyprus, Portugal and Greece (in the case of Eu-Solaris ERIC) and 8 from Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain (in the case of LifeWatch ERIC); 8 public research centres and universities (3 from Europe -IPS, INESCTEC from Portugal and CSIC from Spain- and 5 from Latin-America and the Caribbean (LAC) – TECNM from Mexico, UNNE and UNSAM from Argentina, PUC from Chile and CENAT from Costa Rica-) and finally, the International Organization OEI (Organization of Ibero American States for Education, Science and Culture) that involves 23 governments (20 Latin American ones, Portugal, Spain and Andorra). Consequently, that is 58 entities working directly or indirectly together from 32 countries (20 from LAC and 12 from Europe).
