The 14th SET Plan Conference “Enabling the SET Plan for the EU Green Recovery” will take place on 23 and 24 November 2020 in an online format. This conference is an opportunity for policymakers, researchers and stakeholders to evaluate the progress made towards achieving the SET Plan goals.
The event will be opened by Peter Altmaier (Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy) and by Kadri Simson (European Commissioner for Energy). The ministerial panel will address the clean energy transition in the current Covid19 context and the role of the European Green Deal in such a transition.
Sessions will address, among other topics, the SET Plan contribution to the Green Deal as a driver of the EU recovery, and more specifically the three main European energy policy initiatives that will be launched this year, namely energy system integration and hydrogen, offshore renewables and the renovation wave.

European School on Nuclear Materials Science
2020-11-09 - 2020-11-13 | Virtual
The European School on Nuclear Materials Science will take place from 9 to 13 November 2020 at the Institut d’Etudes Scientifiques (IESC) in Cargèse, Corsica, France. It will focus on the nuclear materials science by addressing the multiscale modelling and characterization of materials phenomena in the nuclear materials science context. It will bring together world-leading scientists in topics ranging from advanced electronic structure theory to continuum modelling, as well as sophisticated experimental characterization techniques to give the students the best possible toolbox for their future careers as nuclear materials scientists. All types of nuclear materials will be treated: structural (metallic and ceramics), functional and fuel materials.

The school is co-organised by the Horizon 2020 European projects INSPYRE, GEMMA, M4F and IL TROVATORE and supervised by the EERA-JPNM.
