Webinar: Managing multiple goals in university-industry collaboration

A key challenge in university-industry collaborations is the partners’ multiple and potentially conflicting goals. This multiplicity of goals can in worst case hamper the collaboration, because the establishment of goals often determines which actions are undertaken. Firms and university partners may disagree on the course of actions to achieve these various goals. Therefore, the collaborative partners need to find a way to manage these different and potentially conflicting goals. This presentation will focus on how multiple goals in research centers can be managed to ensure attainment of mutually beneficial outcomes for the partners involved, at various levels of the collaboration. The presentation is based on qualitative interviews with firm and university partners in FME centers, including FME HighEFF.

Webinar: The role of thermal energy storage in the decarbonization of process industry

Two thirds of industrial energy use is in the form of thermal energy, and most of this energy demand is still covered with fossil fuels. In order to mitigate the climate change, rapid decarbonization of industrial process heat production is required – and the fastest way for decarbonization is through electrification using high-temperature heat pumps or electric boilers. This presentation will explain the role of thermal energy storage in as a key enabler for decarbonization of process industry, and present relevant case studies and results from FME HighEFF.
