EULAC FOR ENERGY TRANSITION

The initiative is led by the Organization of Ibero-American States, and 10 other Ibero-American organizations participate in it, among which are:

-   European Solar Research Infrastructure for Concentrated Solar Power (EU-SOLARIS)

-   e-Science European Research Infrastructure for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research

-   Agencia Estatal Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)

-   Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal

-   INESC TEC - Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores

-   Tecnológico Nacional de México

-   Universidad Nacional de General San Martín 

-   Fundación Centro de Alta Tecnología (FunCeNAT) 

-   Universidad Nacional del Nordeste

The project aims to strengthen cooperation between the European Union and the research infrastructures of Latin America and the Caribbean to address a common challenge: how to achieve a clean, sustainable, and fair energy transition.

This initiative pursues its objective through the exchange, generation, and transfer of knowledge between entities from a multidisciplinary approach (technological, environmental, social) and by supporting the development of public policies and regulatory frameworks toward climate neutrality.

Specifically, the CEUC will participate in the preparation of a report about the best strategy to develop lithium extraction in the LAC Lithium Triangle (Chile, Bolivia, Argentina), taking into account technological alternatives, social, and environmental impact. In addition, it will carry out mobilizations of PUC researchers to European research infrastructures, where they will participate in different instances of discussion.

Contest: HORIZON-INFRA-2023.

Project duration: 24 months.
