Session on the strategic role of universities in the

The European educational, research and innovation
systems must work together and aspire to develop
ideas and people, and to warrant a new industrial wave
based on energy technologies and services in Europe
and to become the global leader in sustainable energy
innovation. Efforts in the fields of energy production,
energy transport and energy usage must be
coordinated and aligned .
Education and training effort must be to produce a basis
from which the main stakeholders can plan and prepare
for education and training for the future energy markets.

The link between European research and education institutions
and the business world (public private linkages) need to be further
strengthened. (…) the full potential of such collaborations has not
yet materialized and the relationships need to be improved to
foster innovation.
Horizontal factors should be considered when designing the
education and training concept for the SET-Plan:
1.
Competence base required
competence profiles required for working with low carbon energy
technologies come from a wide range of basic education profiles, in areas
ranging from across all engineering disciplines to basic science disciplines,
2. Recruitment of people by the industrial labour market
labour market already experiences bottlenecks in the recruitment of
young people into science and engineering professions.
3.
Young candidates as agents of change
There is adequate evidence that the most efficient way to spearhead
industrialisation of new knowledge is through educating candidates
integrated with research and industrial innovation processes
Needs and gaps - bottlenecks for the different sectors and their
markets
A. Transfer of latest generated knowledge into education;
B. Making available state-of-the-art education with latest knowledge
widely in EU;
C. Integrating education, cutting edge research, and rich innovation
environment;
D. Creating and coordinating EU wide education, training, doctoral
programmes;
E. Mobilise the capacity of professional development agents (and
universities) in Europe;
F. Accreditation and quality assurance of education and training;
G. Harmonization of educational systems.
