PANTERA Workshop "Boosting the R&I activity on Smart Grid Technologies: The strengths of regional activity in R&I facilitated by the EIRIE platform. Country: Budapest, Hungary"

Hungary is actively working towards the success of the energy transition objectives and implementation of declared policies for achieving the low carbon economy. Yet, together with other less involved countries it shows low participation in research and innovation (R&I) activities and the realisation of the European Union’s Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan Implementation Plans. As a consequence, and compared to more successful Member States it has received only a marginal contribution of EU R&I Horizon 2020’s budget.
