In the past : „Understanding renewable technologies and their potential role in the MENA region“ Infrastructures Market integration Financial issues Legal framework and regulation Energy security Geopolitics Stakeholder framework Enviromental impacts Technology transfer Business opportunities Industrial development Employment effects ….. Today: „Understanding the framework, the processes and the impacts of large-scale renewable deployment in the MENA energy systems “ Engineering, Economics. Multitude of further disciplines: Political Science, Finance, Management, Sociology, Law, Environmental Sciences, … 03/09/2012

9. Bernhard Brand 8 Added value of a MENA research institution Multidisciplinarity to address the increasingly cross- cutting research questions on energy issues in the MENA context Independence in order to provide unbiased research (from funding, sponsorship, …) Strong participation of „Southern“ researchers and institutes to ensure that the research questions actually address the needs of the MENA economies and societies.
