The University of Vaasa has joined the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA), becoming part of its joint programme on Digitalisation for Energy. With strong expertise in developing digital solutions to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability, the university will contribute significantly to EERA’s mission. This membership further strengthens the University of Vaasa’s position as an international actor in the field of energy research and expands the scientific reach of the joint programme.
The collaboration with EERA was visibly launched on 17 March 2025, when the University of Vaasa hosted the event “Sustainable Energy Reimagined” as part of EnergyWeek. The event brought together experts to discuss solutions for the clean energy transition. EERA Secretary General Adel El Gammal delivered the keynote speech, highlighting the importance of strategic autonomy for the European Union and emphasising the central role of low-carbon research and innovation in restoring Europe’s competitiveness.
The University of Vaasa’s integration into EERA’s low-carbon energy research network marks a significant step toward more collaborative, digitalised, and sustainable energy research in Europe. The university’s expertise and strong regional engagement will support the objectives of the Digitalisation for Energy joint programme. In addition, the University of Vaasa is exploring opportunities to participate in other EERA joint programmes, particularly in the field of resilience.
