SET Plan Conference
The 18th Strategic Energy Technology SET Plan conference will take place in Budapest on 14-15 November 2024. This year's theme, "Scaling up research, innovation and competitiveness in clean energy technologies", highlights the need to reinforce the research and innovation landscape, to enhance competitiveness and sovereignty of clean energy technology value chains within the EU.
The SET Plan was established in 2007 and became one of the main instruments of the energy union’s 5th pillar on research, innovation and competitiveness, it was revised with the European Green Deal, REPowerEU and the Green Deal Industrial Plan, notably the Net-Zero Industry Act. Developing roadmaps, focusing on 10 action areas with 14 working groups, these are the guides to future Horizon Europe energy calls.
