The IREK project aims to...
-
Improve knowledge on North-South and South-South cooperation in deployment of renewable energy. The goal is to examine how outcomes of international cooperation on low carbon technologies can be shaped and transformed to become efficient in terms of energy production and social inclusion.
-
Equip policymakers in relevant ministries with a better foundation for selecting and deploying available technologies in a way that increases ‘inclusiveness’.
-
Equip stakeholders with an improved understanding of concrete and efficient ways to combine efforts of electrification with the management of international interactive learning between producers, suppliers and users of the technologies.
-
Equip stakeholders with a better foundation for selecting and deploying available technologies in a way that increases inclusiveness and contributes to poverty reduction.
-
Build a stronger research capacity in the field of ‘innovation and development’ with particular reference to low-carbon development.
-
Contribute with new theoretical contributions and applied studies that combine value chain with innovation system perspective.
The ultimate aim of the IREK project is to contribute to the creation of universal access to modern energy services, and therefore to the reduction of energy poverty.
