The Project Objectives

The EFONET Project aims at providing policy relevant input to the EC, notably in relation with the review of the EU Energy Strategy, the establishment of the Strategic Technology Plan, the implementation of the Action Plan for Energy Efficiency.

More specifically, EFONET will strive for building consensus on long term policy options identifying feasible pathways that combine short-medium term policy constraints with long term vision and implications as well validate current policy options. Particular emphasis will be on identifying technological priorities by providing input to medium/long term RTD policy and reducing conflicts in priority setting throughout the promotion of a shared perception of uncertainties.

EFONET will establish and run a discussion platform gathering representatives from the research community and from all relevant stakeholder groups.
