UCC at helm of new Euro energy think-tank

University College Cork has been named as the Irish representative on a new pan-European think-tank on energy issues.

The Insight_E project, which also involves experts from universities in London, Stockholm and elsewhere, will help advise the European Commission on developing issues within the energy sector.

UCC’s Energy Policy and Modelling Group is set to play a central role in advising the commission, particularly given developments in Ukraine and elsewhere which could have ramifications for energy supply.
