🌍 The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Southern African Science Service Centre for Climate Change and Adaptive Land Management (SASSCAL) are pleased to announce the upcoming JCoI Youth for Green Hydrogen (Y4H2) scholarship programme visibility event in Berlin, Germany, scheduled to take place from September 10-13, 2024. 💡 This landmark event will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders to spotlight the collaborative efforts between Germany and Namibia in advancing green hydrogen technologies and fostering sustainable energy solutions. The Y4H2 scholarship programme is a key initiative designed to empower young Namibians, through academic and non-academic courses in the framework of green hydrogen technology. 🌱🔋 #JCoI #Y4H2 #GreenHydrogen #Namibia #Germany #SASSCAL #BMBF #Partnership #Sustainability #FutureOfEnergy #ClimateChange #NetZero #Scholarship Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin Siemens Energy NUST Namibia University of Namibia

Hanns-Seidel-Foundation Korea's representative, Dr Bernhard Seliger, recently published an article entitled "Towards a Green Revolution in North Korea - Hydropower, International Climate Regimes and the Nuclear Elephant in the Room" for the magazine KORUM. KORUM magazine is a KGCCI publication that provides information on Korea's economy, markets, businesses, technologies, tax, legal or cross-cultural issues. The magazine also contains information on the activities of the KGCCI and its member companies and is published three times a year. Dr. Seliger's latest article deals with the history of industrialisation in North Korea and its former active participation in the implementation of international energy and climate policies. However, he also argues that the continued advancement of the nuclear and military programme prevents a renewed integration into the international community and thus still stands in the way of a green revolution in North Korea. You can find the full article in English on pages 22 to 26 in the second issue of KORUM Magazine in 2024 entitled: "The Green Revolution: Driving Carbon Neutrality in Energy".

🎙️𝗘𝗨𝗞𝗜 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: How to accelerate CEE countries' engagement to decarbonisation and better energy security In our latest interview, we spoke with Martin Vladimirov, Director of the Energy and Climate Programme at the Center for the Study of Democracy (CSD). CSD implements EUKI project Effective Implementation of NECPs in CEE. This project focuses on enhancing National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) in Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, and Romania. The project aims to align these countries’ policies with the European Green Deal and address energy poverty. 🌍 As a key player in this initiative, Martin shared insights into the project's goals, the challenges they face, and how they are fostering collaboration among policymakers and citizens. 🤝 Read the full interview here 👉https://lnkd.in/e2zuhuvj Energy Policy Group IBS - Institute for Structural Research University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #EUKI #NECPs #CEE #EnergyPoverty #Sustainability #GreenDeal #Decarbonisation #Collaboration #ClimateNeutral #PolicyInnovation

Dag Avango, Professor at Luleå University of Technology and director of Arctic Five, delivers the opening speech at the seminar 'The Arctic perspective in the EU research agenda' held in Brussels in mid-May. The objective of the seminar is to discuss how Arctic research can answer to the needs that occur with the transition the region is undergoing. The discussions will focus on how the ambitions of the EU’s Arctic policy can be included in the future research priorities. “The European Arctic is undergoing considerable changes related to demands for natural resources, renewable energy and green products, as well as to growing global geopolitical tensions in the wake of Russia’s war against Ukraine. These changes have implications on a wide range of issues such as impacts on Arctic environments and communities, natural resource governance and a broad range of security issues in the Arctic. The EU’s research agenda plays a crucial role in informing policy decisions and shaping strategies for sustainable development in the Arctic and ultimately to the whole European Union”, says Dag Avango. The seminar is organised by North Sweden European Office and North Norway European Office in cooperation with the EU Arctic Forum and Indigenous People’s Dialogue. The Arctic Five is a partnership between five universities in the Arctic of Sweden, Norway and Finland. hashtag #arctic hashtag #arktis hashtag #luleåtekniskauniversitet Foto: Laura Vendelin

🚀 8th Southeast Europe Energy Forum (SEEF 2024) 🌍by American - Hellenic Chamber of Commerce and Hellenic Association For Energy Economics (HAEE) ⚡Georgios Stassis, PPC S.A. "Alongside geopolitical crises, the climate and energy crisis is unfolding, particularly affecting Southeast Europe with extreme weather phenomena. This puts a strain on our energy infrastructure and pressures affordability. Energy systems must be flexible, stable, reliable, and affordable. Resilient grids and storage will offer this flexibility, not only in Greece but across the entire Southeast European region. The relationship between Southeast European countries and the US is critical. This is not a call for protectionism but a call for forming new partnerships." 📅 Date: September 6, 2024 📍 Location: The MET Hotel, Thessaloniki, Greece #EnergyTransition #SEEF2024

Last week Robert Thijssen and Ernst-Jan Bakker visited Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação and Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Itamaraty) in Brasília. The visit to MCTI was in preparation for the Joint Committee Meeting on Science, Technology and Innovation between the Netherlands and Brazil, which will take place in Brasilia on 7 May. The JCM is a biannual meeting senior executive level between Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação and Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat and Ministry of Education, Culture and Science from the Netherlands side. The JCM will determine the priority topics for collaboration like #biorefinery #bioenergy #aviation #space #research and #hydrogen, as well as collaboration on #openscience and large scale research infrastructures. The Netherlands is a priority country for Brazil in the area of S,T & I collaboration.   Also the Science and Technology and Renewable Energy departments of the Brazilian ministry of foreign affairs Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Itamaraty) were visited. On S&T we discussed to possibility to work on a dedicated mission from Brazil to the Netherlands next year. With Laís Garcia the broad scope of #clean energy topics where discussed like the Clean Energy Ministerial and Mission Innovation.   Innovatie Attaché Netwerk / IA (Netherlands Innovation Network) Kingdom of the Netherlands in Brazil
