Energy Research Networks

The Energy Research Networks have been initiated by the BMWK since 2014 in key areas of energy research. In addition to promoting participation and transparency, the aim is to accelerate the transfer of results and ensure the quality of research findings. The results of the network work are incorporated into the BMWK's strategic considerations for the further development of energy research policy.

More than 3,700 experts participate in the open expert networks (as of August 2023). Through their dialogue, they contribute to transferring the results of energy research directly to the stakeholders of the energy transition, discussing practical funding strategies in a topic-oriented manner and initiating new measures. This puts transparency and efficiency at the centre of energy research.

Coordination platform for energy research

The coordination of research and innovation measures focussing on energy from various federal ministries takes place in the Energy Research Coordination Platform under the leadership of the BMWK. This enables planned measures to be harmonised and synergies to be exploited through cooperation.
