Our Working Groups will provide SSH research priority recommendations for four specific (SET-Plan focussed) energy topics. Members will be leading energy-SSH researchers, representing wider disciplinary research communities e.g. via leadership of research groups/institutes, Horizon 2020 energy projects, and/or editorial roles for journals.
Key Features
4 groups, focussed around high-level strategic SET-Plan actions: renewables, smart consumption, energy efficiency, transport.
Each led by steering group of chair, co-chair, critical policy friend and 2 ESRs.
25+ members with senior expertise from: across SSH disciplines; geographies; gender-balanced.
