The HYDROPOWER EUROPE (HPE) project is currently undertaking a consultation process which includes wider online inquiries, expert workshops and a series of regional and Brussels-based events.

The aim is to collect bottom up inputs from hydro-power operators and manufacturers, as well as research and environmental organizations, to define a Research and Innovation Agenda and a Strategic Industry Roadmap for hydro-power in light of the challenges posed by the decarbonization of the energy system.

To this purpose, three regional workshops will be organized between August and September 2019.

A diverse group of speakers (including hydro-power industry, experts, researchers, EU and national policy-makers) will:

• address specific regional issues of hydro-power for hydro-power development (political, social, environmental aspects, funding needs at national and EU levels);
• foster dialogue with regional stakeholders (where are the difficulties, what are the solutions, etc).

Participants will also have the opportunity to provide inputs on the Research and Innovation Agenda (R&IA) and the Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR) through topic-group discussions
