The European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling (RHC-ETIP) has prepared a draft of its Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). To make the most of this document and make it a comprehensive one, we would like to collect the input of renewable heating and cooling experts and sector’s stakeholders through an open consultation.

What is the ‘SRIA – Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda’?

This SRIA goal is to identify key R&I priorities for the renewable heating and cooling (HC) sector to be included in the next EU funded calls. The SRIA aims at boosting the competitiveness of the EU RHC-industry and increasing the share of renewable HC solutions. The document includes both sector specific priorities (dealing with buildings, districts, cities and industries) and cross-sectorial ones touching on relevant topics such digitalisation, health and circularity. The SRIA will be presented at the 100% Renewable Heating and Cooling for a Sustainable Future – 100% RHC Event 2020, which the RHC ETIP organises online on the 15th October. Register now.

The draft document is available here
