Task 6.3 Dissemination Events

HydroFlex will arrange a series of thematic Workshop/Training Seminars open to the public. Stakeholders from the hydropower industry and academia will be invited, and the potential to cooperate with other similar EU funded projects will be sought. Through our network, contacts with relevant business press and freelance journalists working in the energy field will be invited to cover the events. At least four public workshop/training seminars will be arranged:

• Workshop /Training Seminar with a focus on flexibility of hydraulic turbines. It will be organized by NTNU in connection with the Francis-99 workshop in May 2019 (100-150 participants).
• Workshop/Training Seminar with a focus on the technical flexibility of hydropower plants. It will be organized by Uppsala University tentatively end of 2019 and will be targeted to potential users while open to R&D community (50-100 participants).
• Workshop/Training Seminar on environmental issues. It will be organized by Luleå University of Technology in the end of 2020 and it will be targeted to potential users, policy makers and open to R&D community (50-100 participants).
