The R+D+I Network Energy for Society (XRE4S) a multidisciplinary and transversal ecosystem that gathers the expertise in the energy field of 14 universities and research centers in Catalonia, and it is coordinated by IREC.
The network has launched the #MeetTheExpert campaign to showcase the main expertise in the energy field of its 35 group members (map). The series includes an interview to the XRE4S Director, Manel Sanmartí, head of the Corporate Development & Knowledge and Technology Transfer Unit at IREC, and the IREC researchers participating in the network. We have gathered them in the following playlist.
