Energytran project closing event: Perspectives on the energy transition in Latin America
Registration open
Objective: To present all the results obtained in the Energytran project and reflect on future scenarios in which to continue cooperating at a scientific and technological level for the energy transition.
Date: November 26 and 27, 2025.
Place: Aula Magna - Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (Santiago de Chile).
The EULAC for energy transition (Energytran) project comes to an end this December. During its development, it has highlighted the different perspectives from which the energy transition can be viewed, its different facets, the various ways of addressing it—all of which are necessary—and all the actors involved. There are many different perspectives on the energy transition, and each nuance is essential to addressing it. Energytran is a project structured around this idea, both in terms of the institutions that form part of the consortium and the work carried out.
Following this logic, the results obtained from this scientific cooperation between research infrastructures in Latin America and the European Union on energy transition will be presented on November 26 and 27, 2025, in Santiago, Chile (Aula Magna of the Pontifical Catholic University). This will be the final event of the Energytran project, after two years of existence.
It will be a meeting of perspectives on energy transition in our region, which will also allow us to identify challenges and outline new avenues for scientific collaboration in this area, from the perspectives of public policy, technology, and science.

What is Energytran?
The EULAC for Energy Transition (Energytran) project was launched in January 2024 as part of the Horizon Europe program with the aim of addressing the energy transition as a common challenge through the exchange, generating and transferring knowledge between research infrastructures in the European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean from a multi-stakeholder approach—public administration, academia, business, and civil society—and a multidisciplinary approach—technological, environmental, and social—and to support the development of public policies promoting a clean, sustainable, and fair transition of the energy sector to move toward a resilient society.
Eleven partners from both regions are working on it: the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI), the project's coordinating entity; the European research infrastructure consortia EU-Solaris ERIC and LifeWatch ERIC; the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal (IPS) and the Institute of Computational and Systems Engineering, Technology and Science (INESCTEC) in Portugal, the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC), the National Technological Institute of Mexico (TECNM), the National University of San Martín (UNSAM) and the National University of the Northeast (UNNE) in Argentina, and the National Center for High Technology (CENAT) in Costa Rica. .
Under the horizontal principles of inclusion, participation, social impact, and open science, to date, the Energytran project has facilitated the generation and transfer of knowledge on energy transition, involving more than 300 researchers and more than 60 institutions from both regions. The project's results include 40 exchanges between both regions, seven publications, three events, three digital tools, and one course.
