Kick-Off-Meeting for the GRECO Project

Junie 25^th 2018 | Madrid

Berit Müller, Head of the Research Field Transformation of Energy Systems RLI, will represent the institute at the kick-off meeting of the GRECO Project in Madrid. GRECO is a pilot of the European Commission that aims to put into action the concepts of open-science and responsible research and innovation for the development of socially responsible photovoltaic products. RLI cooperates with ten international partners in this project, the project lead is taken by the Solar Energy Institute of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.

GRECO aims at demonstrating that the application of open-science practices – and more broadly, Responsible Research and Innovation methodologies (RRI) – is the basis for obtaining research products that can face current society challenges and become a basic reference of how these materialize in all phases of an R&D project. RLI will work in particular on the analysis of the impact of different photovoltaic technologies as well as on the conception and test of an open-peer-review process for the scientific publications of the project.

The project is funded with three million Euros by the EU Horizon2020 program and starts this June, lasting for three years. The meeting in Madrid is the first personal meeting of all project partners.
