About EPFC core group

EPFC core group (EPFC-CG)

What?

EPFC-CG is a closed group within EPFC. The aim of EPFC-CG is to identify and solve bottlenecks that prevent the further growth and success of the sector. Therefore we translate these bottlenecks into relevant scientific, technical research questions. This list of questions is part of the EPFC strategic research and innovation agenda (EPFC-SRIA). The EPFC-SRIA is a living document, that all EPFC-CG member can refer to and contribute his/her solution(s).
