2 Plenary Session The UNI-SET Energy Clustering Event (ECE) Series aims at addressing from a university perspective the challenges in research and education relative to the 10 Key Actions of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan), in line with the objectives of the Energy Union to foster the transition towards a low-carbon society. The human capital that is needed to implement this strategy is a crucial factor for a successful transition. Universities have a key role in providing in-depth knowledge to educate and train students in the necessary disciplinary and multidisciplinary fields. The first plenary will consist of an introduction to the objectives and format of the conference, including a draft Roadmap for Universities in Energy, a general document developed by EUA and the UNI-SET consortium that will outline ways forward for universities to coordinate their contributions to the energy transition towards a low-carbon society. As the series of ECEs advances, EUA and its partners will draft roadmaps for all ten key areas of the SET-Plan. In Turin, specific feedback for the European roadmap in the fields of energy efficiency and nuclear safety will be collected. Moreover, the host university will present its institutional strategy and approach to research and education in the field of energy.

The main objective is to facilitate mutual learning and exchange through presentations on projects and activities with an innovative approach to research, education, training, or innovation activities. Preference will be given to activities with a multi-disciplinary (integration of sciences, social sciences and humanities) and/or collaborative approaches. Moderators of sessions will identify cross-cutting issues to feed into the discussion on the general Roadmap for Universities in Energy and the European roadmap for universities in the fields of energy efficiency and nuclear safety. Topics 1) Setting Energy Efficiency Benchmarks and Targets the Contribution of Universities Prof. Vladimir Tanasiev, University Politehnica of Bucharest Mr Dario Cottafava, University of Turin Prof. Armin Hafner, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Chair: Prof. Paulien Herder, TU Delft, UNI-SET Steering Committee 2) Living Labs and Smart Metering for Increasing Energy Efficiency Dr Giacomo Pettenati, University of Turin Prof. Svilen Rachev, Technical University of Gabrovo Prof. Dario Padovan, University of Turin Chair: Prof. Johan Driesen, KU Leuven; Education Director, KIC InnoEnergy; UNI-SET Project Leader Page3

5 Clustering Sessions These sessions aim to support the exchange between different disciplines and fields of science to support the development of new research ideas and cross-disciplinary perspectives on the different topics. Clustering in this context stands for the interaction of researchers working on similar challenges within different scientific disciplines. The sessions also seek to facilitate linkages between research and education in the fields of energy efficiency in buildings, energy efficiency in industry and nuclear safety. Each speaker will provide their specific angle on the topic. Moderators of sessions will identify cross-cutting issues to feed into the European roadmap in the fields of energy efficiency and nuclear safety as part of the general Roadmap for Universities in Energy.
