We would like to thank all of the participants in the SUNRISE FINLAND STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOP in Turku, on Monday 9th December.
The SUNRISE Workshop gathered more than 60 attendees. We would like to give special thanks to our invited speakers for coming and enlivening the sessions by excellent talks.
The workshop finalized with a panel discussion moderated by Yagut Allahverdiyeva. Panellists were Juho Korteniemi (Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland), Kyösti Lempa (Nordforsk), Baerbel Friedrich (German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina), Frédéric Chandezon (SUN-ERGY), Eva-Mari Aro (EASAC vice-chair, University of Turku), Joanna Kargul (SUN-ERGY), Reko Leino (Academy of Finland), Jero Ahola (LUT University).
Core discussion points of the panel were: (i) the plans of funding agencies to support transition to clean energy, circular economy and for promotion of bioeconomy sectors (ii) what Finland’s strategy is in this respect (iii) how SUNRISE community can influence EU H2020 strategic calls (iv) what the most efficient way is to store and transport solar energy and (v) how to keep funding balanced between fundamental and applied research.

We are pleased to announce that the SUNRISE FINLAND STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOP will be held in December 9, 2019 in Turku (Biocity Presidentti meeting room, Tykistökatu 6), and cordially invite you to join us.
The EU SUNRISE (“Solar energy for a circular economy”) coordination and support action (CSA https://www.sunriseaction.eu) is preparing a large scale research initiative aiming to provide novel technologies for a sustainable production of fuels and chemicals from sunlight and abundant raw materials such as CO2, O2 and N2.
SUNRISE involves three principally different approaches: Electrochemical conversion with renewable power, Direct conversion via integrated artificial photosynthetic systems and Direct conversion via biological and biohybrid systems. Recently SUNRISE and Energy-X (another EU CSA initiative selected by EU) announced the joint cooperation as a major step towards building a carbon neutral EU.
In order to enhance national collaboration and also to include stakeholders (industry, governance, funding agencies) into the discussion concerning sustainable energy/chemicals production in Finland and in Europe, the University of Turku is organizing a national SUNRISE Finland Stakeholder Workshop on Monday, 9th of December in Turku.
