Fraunhofer ISE's director elected as president of EUREC

During its College of Members in Wuppertal, Germany on 26 November, Brussels-based EUREC (European Association of Renewable Energy Research Centers) unanimously elected professor Eicke R. Weber, director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg, Germany, as its president for the term 2015-2017.

Fraunhofer ISE is the largest solar energy research institute in Europe and was one of EUREC’s founding members in 1991. Weber has broad international experience in research and R&D management and also holds a professorship of physics/solar energy at the University of Freiburg.

“It is my goal to strengthen EUREC as the representation of European research & development in renewable energy technologies,” says Weber. “EUREC should become one of the most important partners for both the EU Commission as well as the EU Parliament when it comes to decisions in renewable energy policy,” he adds.
