The aim of this community is to grow the French-Australian scientific collaboration in the energy and materials science domains. Strong collaborations are underway in the areas of solar energy, electrochemical energy storage and hydrogen technologies including grid technologies, training and education.
\n\n​
\n\nOur target is to facilitate the emergence of small and intermediary energy systems, their management in stand-alone locations (islands and remote areas) and/or integrated in the form of micro-grids.
\n\n​
\n\nJoin the AFRAN Energy community on our online platform to find experts, develop your network, start collaborating and innovate.
