Results and impacts from ACT presented at GHGT-16

A paper presenting results and impacts from ACT was presented at the GHG-16 conference.

The first three ACT calls resulted in € 100 M in funding for 33 international research, development and innovation (RD&I) projects. The added value of the joint international effort is alignment of national RD&I strategies and larger projects with higher impact than what would have been possible with only national projects. The projects funded by ACT have closed knowledge gaps, established well-functioning RD&I collaboration across borders, built relations between academia and industry, and made important contributions to dissemination of key messages beyond the scientific community

ACT Knowledge Sharing Workshop 2023

The ACT consortium is very happy with the successful ACT Knowledge Sharing Workshop in Paris 4th and 5th October 2023. The focus of the Workshop was to share knowledge, experiences and results gained in the ongoing ACT projects. The workshop was also an excellent opportunity for generating new ideas and building new networks.

A big thank to all the ACT projects who contributed to making the workshop a big success and a big thank to ADEME and ANR for great hospitality and for taking care of all practicalities.

The program is available here.
