The SUN2X-SET project aims at establishing the EU Forum for Direct Solar Fuels (DSF), relying on the recognised technical and scientific expertise gathered within the SUNERGY initiative and the SUNER-C project. SUN2X-SET will set up, coordinate and manage Working Groups of 150+ experts from industry, academia, research community, civil society and national authorities, that will contribute to monitor, revise and update the SUNER-C Roadmap and Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) into the first EU R&I Roadmap and Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) on DSF, strengthening the DSF R&I ecosystem, and paving the way for the Forum to become a recognised ETIP within the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan framework.
