Euro-CASE
What is Euro-CASE?
The European Council of
Applied Sciences and Engineering (Euro-CASE) is an
independent non-profit organisation of national
academies of Engineering, Applied Sciences and
Technology from 21 European countries. The Royal
Academy of Engineering represents the UK on the
Euro-CASE board.
Organisation
Euro-CASE acts as a permanent
forum for exchange and consultation between European
Institutions, Industry and Research.
Through its member academies,
Euro-CASE has access to top expertise (around 6,000
experts) and provides impartial, independent and
balanced advice on technological issues with a clear
European dimension to European Institutions,
national Governments, companies and organizations.
Mission Statement
The mission of Euro-CASE is to
pursue, encourage and maintain excellence in the
fields of engineering, applied sciences and
technology, and to promote the science, art and
practice of engineering and technology for the
benefit of the citizens of Europe.
Annual Conference
On 3 November 2008, The Royal
Academy of Engineering hosted the first annual
Euro-CASE conference at its London headquarters on
the topic of the European Union’s 2020 renewable
energy targets. The conference examined the
engineering challenges associated with the targets,
and asked: what policies, technologies and
incentives need to be put in place within the next
decade to ensure that they are met?
The conference set out to:
-
Examine the technical and
policy barriers to achieving the 2020 targets
across the principal renewables technologies and
propose appropriate solutions
-
Facilitate the exchange of
best practice in the promotion of renewable
energy across Europe
-
Create European networks
of experts in the key renewables technologies
-
Promote the role of
engineers and engineering in delivering the 2020
targets.
Academy President Lord Browne
FREng FRS chaired the conference, and EU Energy
Commissioner Andris Piebalgs delivered the keynote
speech.
